Error Unknown Option group security

Question

I am trying to create a security group using AWS CLI and am getting an error.

aws ec2 create-security-group --group-name my-sg1 --description My security group
usage: aws [options] <command> <subcommand> [<subcommand> ...] [parameters]
To see help text, you can run:

  aws help
  aws <command> help
  aws <command> <subcommand> help

Unknown options: group, security

Hello @Jino,

This is a simple syntax error you have here. Description will be in 'quotes'

aws ec2 create-security-group --group-name my-sg1 --description "My security group"
