Changing the Default Node Security Group

Scenario

When creating a cluster, you can specify a node security group to centrally manage network security policies. For a created cluster, you can change its default node security group.

Constraints

  • Do not associate more than 1,000 instances with the same security group. Otherwise, security group performance may degrade.
  • Exercise caution when modifying the security group rules of master nodes.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the CCE console. In the navigation pane, choose Clusters.
  2. Click the cluster name to access the Overview page.
  3. In the Networking Configuration area, click Edit next to the Default Node Security Group.

  4. Select an existing security group, confirm that the security group rules meet the cluster requirements, and click OK.

    • Ensure that correct port rules are configured for the selected security group. Otherwise, the nodes cannot be created. The port rules that a security group must comply with vary with the cluster type.
    • The new security group takes effect only for newly created or managed nodes. For existing nodes, modify the security group rules and reset the nodes in real time. The original security group is still used.
