Security Groups and EC2
A security group acts as a virtual firewall that controls the traffic for one or more instances. When you launch an instance, you associate one or more security groups with the instance. To decide whether to allow traffic to reach an instance, AWS evaluate all the rules from all the security groups that are associated with the instance.
Security groups are not just limited to EC2, but can be used with other services such as RDS.
