Creating security groups

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

AWS uses security groups to control inbound and outbound traffic. For software-only installation, you must create the following security groups:

  • Avaya Aura® Device Services security group.

    This security group uses the primary eth0 interface.

  • Utility Server security group.

    This security group uses the secondary eth1 interface.

  • Avaya Aura® Device Services load balance security group.

  • Utility Server load balance security group.

Procedure

  1. On the Amazon Web Services Management console, navigate to Services  > EC2  > Security group.
  2. Click Create Security Group.
  3. In Security group name, type a name of your choice.

    For example: AADS security group eth0

  4. Optional In Description, type a description for the group.
  5. From VPC, select the Virtual Private Cloud that you plan to use for Avaya Aura® Device Services.
  6. Configure the inbound and outbound traffic rules for the group.

    Fore more information, see the Traffic rules section for the appropriate group.

  7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 to create the additional required security groups.
  8. Make a note of the security group ID of the Utility Server security group.

    You require this ID when configuring security groups for the secondary network interface.
