Creating a Security Group in KeterCloud

To create a Security Group, select "Networking" in the left sidebar, then click "Security Groups" in the top bar.

Create Server 21

Then click "Create Security Group"

Create Server 22

Select the same region as your server, and give the group a descriptive name. For example, I'm going to my security group "Port 22 Ingress, Port 80 and 443 In+Out"

Once you're done, click "Create Security Group"

Create Server 23

Now it's time to add rules to the security group. Click the Security group's name

Create Server 24

You'll notice there are two default rules for egress. Since we want to be very specific with our security groups, let's go ahead and delete these rules, then click "Add rule" to add our own.

Create Server 25

Here's how we want to set up our port 22 rule:

Create Server 26

We've set Custom Protocol (to later select TCP), given it a description, allowed Ingress traffic, select a specific Port, specified that port as 22, select TCP as the protocol, allowed all IP addresses to contact it using the 0.0.0.0/0 subnet, and set the traffic type as IPv4. Click "Add rule" when you're done.

Let's follow that same structure to add rules for Ingress and egress on ports 80 and 443, the most common internet access ports:

Create Server 27

We'll do the same for Egress on 80, and Ingress and Egress on 443:

Create Server 28

All that's left to be done is assign the security group. Go to "Server" in the sidebar and select our VM.

Create Server 29

Then click on "Security Groups"

Create Server 30

Next, "Add Security Group"

Create Server 31

Select our created "Port 22 Ingress, Port 80 and 443 In+Out" security group and click "Add Security Group"

Create Server 32

Create Server 33

Done! You've created and attached a security group.
