To control network traffic at the individual User VM (UVM) subnet level, creating a custom security
group is the appropriate action. This approach allows for fine-grained control over inbound and
outbound traffic rules that can be applied to specific subnets or individual instances within those
subnets.
Custom Security Group:
Custom security groups enable administrators to define specific traffic rules tailored to the needs of
individual subnets or VMs. This includes specifying allowed IP ranges, ports, and protocols.
By applying these custom security groups to the UVMs, the organization can control access and
enhance security according to their policies and requirements.
Steps to Create a Custom Security Group:
Navigate to the AWS Management Console and go to the VPC service.
Select "Security Groups" under the "Security" section.
Click on "Create Security Group" and define the name, description, and VPC.
Add inbound and outbound rules according to the desired traffic control policies.
Attach the custom security group to the UVMs or subnets in question.
