Creating a Security Group for the EFS Mount Targets
Learn to create a security group for the EFS mount targets.
We'll cover the following
In the last lesson, we created the mount targets, but we didn’t add security groups. We need to follow up on this now.
The security group needs to allow our WordPress instances within our VPC to access the EFS mount points.
Do you remember how we created the security group for our RDS database?
The steps are the same for the EFS file system (just with a different port).
Let’s quickly recap what we need:
- We need to create the security group in our custom VPC.
- The security group should be named
efs-access
. - The description should be
Allow EFS access from VPC
. - We need the
team=wordpress
tag. - We need to allow access from our VPC with CIDR
10.0.0.0/16
to the mount targets. - We need to allow access on port
2049
(NFS) via TCP.
