AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) - Security Groups Overview

The video tutorial explains the concept of security groups in AWS, highlighting that they function like firewalls for instances within a virtual private cloud. It contrasts security groups with traditional directory service groups and Windows firewalls. The tutorial also covers the concepts of ingress and egress traffic, emphasizing that security groups only support allow rules with implicit deny. Additionally, it introduces Network Access Control Lists (NACLs), which apply to subnets, support both allow and deny rules, and operate in a stateless manner. The video concludes by comparing security groups and NACLs, explaining their roles in managing network traffic within AWS.
