How to create a security group in AWS?

In this tutorial we will create a security group which we will use further while creating our Redhshift Cluster.

• Login to your AWS VPC Console .
• In the left Navigation Pane select Security Groups .
• Once in Security groups section click on Create Security Group .
• Enter details as below:

Name tag: redshiftsgGroup name: redshiftsgDescription: resdshift security groupVPC: <Select your VPC or if you are not sure leave it as default>

• Once details are filled Click on Yes, Create .
• Now select the security group you just created.
• In the bottom pane click on inbound rules.

Click Edit
Select Redshift in Type and Source 0.0.0.0/0 . By this we are basically allowing all inbound traffic. You can also mention specific IP range in source.
