Inbound – Allows inbound traffic from instances assigned to the same security group. Default Security Group – Each VPC comes with a default security group which allows the instances in the default security group to talk to each other.Security groups cannot be used for blocking specific IP addresses. Any change in the Security Group rule is applied immediately. All the rules are evaluated before deciding whether to allow the traffic or not. if an inbound rule is defined to allow the traffic then the outbound traffic for that connection is automatically allowed and vice versa for the outbound rule. Security Group supports ‘allow’ rule only which are stateful i.e. Default security group is automatically assigned to the EC2 instance if no security instance is selected at the time of launching the EC2 instance. Each instance in a subnet can be assigned to the same Security Group or different Security Groups. One or more security groups (max 5) can be assigned to an EC2 instance. Security groups control the inbound and outbound network traffic at the instance level. In this article let’s look at the VPC network security in further detail.įollowing diagram shows an example of how the security groups and ACLs are associated with the subnets defined within a custom VPC. One of my earlier post on AWS Virtual Private Cloud described the basics of VPC including some of the security features it offers to control which packets move in and out of the VPC.
