Configuring Security Groups

A security group acts as a virtual firewall for your AWS or Azure instance to control inbound and outbound traffic. You can create multiple security groups for access, as required.

In AWS, when you start an instance in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), you can assign the instance to a maximum of five security groups. However, in a Virtual Network (VNET) in Azure, there is no limit to the number of security groups to which an Azure Virtual Machine (AVM) can be assigned. Security groups act at the instance level, not the subnet level. Therefore, each instance in your VPC or VNET can be assigned to a different set of security groups. This section provides examples of configuring security groups for iProcess Engine with different database servers.
