How to Create a Security Group with RDP, HTTPS, and SSH in AWS


A security group is a set of firewall rules that control the inbound and outbound traffic for your AWS instances. You can create a security group that allows RDP, HTTPS, and SSH access to your instances by following these steps:

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon EC2 console.
  2. In the navigation pane, under Network & Security, select Security Groups.
  3. Click Create Security Group.
  4. In the Create Security Group dialog box, enter the following information:
    • Name: A descriptive name for your security group.
    • Description: A brief description of your security group.
    • VPC: The VPC that you want to associate your security group with.
  5. Click Add Rule to add a new inbound rule.
    • Type: Select RDP from the drop-down list.
    • Source: Select My IP to allow only your IP address to access your instances via RDP. Alternatively, you can select Custom and enter a range of IP addresses or a CIDR block.
    • Description: (Optional) Enter a description for the rule.
  6. Repeat step 5 to add two more inbound rules for HTTPS and SSH.
    • Type: Select HTTPS from the drop-down list.
    • Source: Enter 0.0.0.0/0 to allow anyone to access your instances via HTTPS.
    • Description: (Optional) Enter a description for the rule.
    • Type: Select SSH from the drop-down list.
    • Source: Enter your IP address or a range of IP addresses in the Source column to allow SSH access to your instances.
    • Description: (Optional) Enter a description for the rule.
  7. Click Create. The console will display the details of your new security group.
  8. To apply the security group to your instances, select the instances that you want to modify and choose Actions, then Networking, then Change security groups. In the Change security groups dialog box, select the security group that you created and choose Assign security groups.

Your security group is now created and applied to your instances. You can now access your instances via RDP, HTTPS, and SSH.

Here are some additional tips for creating security groups:

  • Use a descriptive name for your security group so that you can easily identify it later.
  • Be specific when defining the inbound rules for your security group. Only allow inbound traffic from the sources that you need to access your instance.
  • Use the Source list to control where the inbound traffic is coming from. You can choose to allow traffic from anywhere, from a specific IP address or range of IP addresses, or from a specific VPC.
  • You can also create outbound rules to control the traffic that your instance can send out to the internet.

How to Install and Configure Docker on Different Operating Systems, Build, Run, and Manage Docker Containers with Basic Commands, Use Docker Images and Dockerfiles to Create Customized Containers ,Docker Compose to Define and Run Multi-Container Applications , Docker Networking to Connect Containers and Hosts , Docker Registries to Store and Share Images

DOCKER ENGINE                                         Dependencies are the software or libraries that are required to install or run another software. For example, to install Jenkins, you need to install Java first. To install Ansible, you need to install Python first. Sometimes, different software may require different versions of the same dependency. For example, some software may need Python 2, while others may need Python 3. However, you cannot have two versions of Python on the same operating system. Docker is a software that solves this problem by creating isolated environments called containers. Each container can have its own dependencies and software without affecting the others. Docker uses the base kernel of the operating system to create containers. Therefore, you can only run applications that are compatible with the base kernel. For example, if you have a Windows-bas...
