In the EC2 console, you can find security groups in the resources block. There is one default security group, and no other security groups exist.

Security group name should be **datacenter-sg** and define **description** what you will use the security group for. Then, you need to allow IPv4 access from anywhere for **HTTP** and **SSH**.
