Reference

Address Group is a feature for managing and enhancing Security Groups more efficiently, offering the following benefits.

  • Improved Freedom in Service Configuration: Exceed the strict rule count (Quota) limit of Security Groups to configure services flexibly.
  • Performance Optimization: Compared to registering a single rule, Security Group operation performance is improved.

Create an Address Group and use it in the cases below.

  • When multiple IPs are registered and the Security Group lacks sufficient rule capacity.
  • When you need to dynamically manage a large number of IPs for a specific service port.

To use Address Group, refer to the following steps.

  1. Create an Address Group.
  2. Register the CIDR required for the Address Group.
  3. When adding a rule to a Security Group, specify the previously created Address Group as the target address.
  4. All CIDRs registered in the Address Group are added as a single Security Group rule.
  5. When you add or remove a target address in an Address Group, the change is immediately reflected in all Security Groups that referenced that Address Group.
