Security Group

Security Group allows or denies connections to or from virtual machines based on configurations you specify. When you create a rule in security, you define a set of components that determine what the rule does. Components allow you to target specific types of traffic, based on traffic protocol, destination port, source, and destination. In the Security Group, you can create, update data, and delete incoming or outgoing rules in Deka ROCK.
