A parameter template is a set of IP address or protocol port parameters. You can save IP addresses or protocol ports with the same needs as a template so that you can directly import the template as the source/destination IP or protocol port when adding security group rules. Parameter templates, if properly used, can enhance your efficiency in using security groups.
Use Cases
Parameter templates are mainly suitable for the following scenarios:
Manage multiple IP addresses or protocol port groups with the same requirements.
Manage multiple IP addresses or protocol port groups with frequent editing needs.
