Securing the server
Modifying a Security Group
When you create an instance, you must create a Security Group or select an existing Security Group. A Security Group
is the Amazon Web Services term for a firewall. Configure the Security Group to allow and deny access to the instance.
When an instance is running, you cannot change the Security Group it belongs to. You can modify the rules of that
Security Group, however.
Amazon says, “A security group defines firewall rules for your instances. These rules specify which incoming network
traffic should be delivered to your instance (e.g., accept web traffic on port 80). All other traffic is ignored. You can
modify rules for a group at any time. The new rules are automatically enforced for all running instances.”
1 In the AWS Management Console, in the Navigation pane, click Security Groups.
2 Select the Security Group to modify. The rules for the Security Group are displayed in the lower pane.
3 To add a rule, provide the following information and click Save:
• Protocol
This menu contains a list of protocols and the ports they most commonly use. For example, HTTP uses port 80.
The RTMP protocol is not included in this list. To add it, select Custom and enter 1935 for the From Port and To
Port.
• From Port
This is the low number in a range. To open a single port, use the same value for the From Port and To Port.
• To Port
This is the high number in a range. To open a single port, use the same value for the From Port and To Port.
• Source (IP or Group).
