Security Group

The Security Group menu in your cloud environment is crucial for effectively managing access and communication for Virtual Machines (VMs). It provides two primary functionalities: Adding new security groups and Managing existing ones.

Adding New Security Group

In the Add Security Group section, users define rules for both Inbound and Outbound traffic. Inbound rules specify which IP addresses and protocols are allowed to access your VMs. This enhances security by controlling incoming data, ensuring only authorized sources can interact with your VMs. Outbound rules manage which external destinations your VMs can communicate with, thereby ensuring secure and controlled network interactions.

Managing Security Group

The Manage Security Group section allows for viewing, editing, and deleting existing security group configurations. This capability ensures that your VMs maintain secure access permissions and can only communicate with authorized sources. By regularly reviewing and adjusting these settings, users protect their infrastructure from unauthorized access and potential threats, maintaining a robust security posture.

Overall, the Security Group menu plays a pivotal role in securing your cloud environment by enabling precise control over access policies and network communications for VMs. This proactive approach helps in safeguarding sensitive data and applications from malicious activities, ensuring reliable and secure operations within your cloud infrastructure.
