Allow SSH

After an instance is deployed, if you want to manage it via SSH, you should allow incoming traffic on port 22.

However, we recommend that you create a Security Group dedicated to the management of your machines. If you add some granularity in your security groups, will make work easier when you have more complex setups.

  • Create a new security group called management.
  • Add a new rule: INGRESS, TCP, port 22.
  • Change the CIDR for this rule to your IP range. You don’t want to allow every IP to be able to connect to your machine via SSH.

Management Security Group

Add this security group to the instances you want to manage via SSH.
