Security groups ialah firewall maya yang mengawal trafik masuk dan keluar ke sumber AWS (seperti EC2 instances) — menentukan port, protokol, dan sumber yang dibenarkan. Ia adalah asas kepada keselamatan rangkaian AWS.
Apa yang security groups lakukan
A SECURITY GROUP is a virtual firewall attached to resources (EC2, RDS, etc.):
→ INBOUND rules — what traffic can REACH the resource (port, protocol, source)
→ OUTBOUND rules — what traffic the resource can SEND OUT
→ only ALLOW rules (no explicit deny); everything not allowed is DENIED by default
→ STATEFUL — if inbound is allowed, the response is automatically allowed back
