    region              => 'us-east-2',
    image_id            => 'ami-916f59f4',
    instance_type       => 't2.micro',

ec2_securitygroup { 'mySecurityGroup':
  region      => 'us-east-2',
  ensure      => present,
  description => 'Security group for aws Ec2 instance',

    port     => 8080,
    cidr     => '0.0.0.0/0',

    protocol => 'tcp',
    port     => 80,
    cidr     => '0.0.0.0/0',
