SecurityGroup


Resource Icon​

Resource Overview​

A security group controls inbound and outbound traffic for associated resources. For example, when a security group is associated with an EC2 instance, it controls inbound and outbound traffic for that instance. A security group can be associated only with resources in the VPC in which the security group was created. When a VPC is created, it comes with a default security group, and additional security groups can be created for each VPC. Using security groups does not incur additional charges.
