AWS provide IP ranges for their services, in case you'd like to add another layer of security via IP whitelisting. They are available from https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-ip-ranges.html, but can be a pain to parse, so let's do that here! First, we'll fetch the data:
const getJSON = require("async-get-json")
const prefixes = (await getJSON("https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json")).prefixes
My last run of this command returned over a thousand results 😲 Let's filter that dynamically with a parameterised endpoint:
const url = require("url")
exports.endpoint = (request, response) => {
const query = url.parse(request.url, true).query
const region = new RegExp(query.region || ".*")
const service = new RegExp(query.service || ".*")
const filtered = prefixes.filter(prefix =>
region.test(prefix.region) && service.test(prefix.service))
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
response.end(JSON.stringify(filtered))
}
Now, you can hit the endpoint link at the top of this page, and pass regexes such as ?region=us.*&service=CLOUD9 to it, to find all Cloud 9 IP ranges in the US. Much better 🤓
