Creating a Security Group

Last updated: 2024-01-08 09:41:35

    Scenario

    Security Groups act as virtual firewalls for CVMs. Each CVM instance must associate with at least one security group. By default, each CVM instance has two templates (Open all ports and Open port 22, 80, 443, 3389 and ICMP protocol) for creating a default security group. For details, refer to Security Group Overview.
    If the default security group does not meet your needs, you can create your own security group as instructed below.

    1. Log in to the CVM Console.
    2. In the left sidebar, select Security Group. The Security Group page then appears.
    3. Select a region for the security group. Click +New.
