AWS SECURITY GROUPS

 SECURITY GROUPS:

A security group acts as a virtual firewall that controls the traffic for one

or more instances.

When you launch an instance, you associate one or more security groups

with the instance.

You add rules to each security group that allow traffic to or from its

associated instances.

You can modify the rules for a security group at any time; the new rules

are automatically applied to all instances that are associated with the

security group.

Click on Security groups section under NETWORK & SECURITY from

the left pane.

Click on security group and select your instance 

Choose edit inbound rules to edit the security group.

Select specific rule which is required, I selected HTTP to open 80 port on the security group.

You can either select Custom TCP rule or Custom UDP rule and specify the port which you want to open.

Or you can specify TCP or UDP and specify a range of IP addresses (20-100).

Then select source IP address from by selecting Source drop down list either Custom IP, Anywhere or My IP then click create.

AWS Changing Instance-Types

 Amazon EC2 provides a wide selection of instance types optimized to fit different

use cases. Instance types comprise varying combinations of CPU, memory,

storage, and networking capacity and give you the flexibility to choose the

appropriate mix of resources for your applications. Each instance type includes one

or more instance sizes, allowing you to scale your resources to the requirements of

your target workload.

We have few types of the instances available, those categorized in to the following.

 General Purpose

 Compute Optimized

 Memory Optimized

 Accelerated Computing

 Storage Optimized

You can check the full list of the instance types from the below URL.

Website: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/

CHANGING INSTANCE TYPES

We can change instance types from one type to another with few clicks, but there

is down time involved here because we must shut down the instance to change

instance type.

To change the instance type, select your instance and go to actions then instance

state then stop.

Once the instance has stopped, make sure you select the instance and go to Actions

tab, expand Instance Settings, then choose Change Instance Type.

Next, Change instance type wizard will open, choose the new instance type from

instance type drop down list.

Next, choose apply.

Now, you can able to see the new instance for the instance under the instance type

tab

Now you can start the instance and it will start with the new m4.large CPU and

RAM configuration.
