using

 

Amazon

 

terminology.

 

With

 

a

 

specific

 

security

 

group

 

you

 

can

 

set

 

your

 

firewall

 

to

 

allow

 

certain

 

IP

 

addresses

 

to

 

access

 

certain

 

ports

 

on

 

your

 

instance.

  

 

Since

 

Aicache

 

is

 

basically

 

a

 

web

 

server

 

you

 

should

 

allow

 

all

 

clients

 

to

 

connect

 

to

 

port

 

80,

  

you

 

should

 

also

 

remember

 

to

 

allow

 

yourself

 

to

 

use

 

SSH

 

to

 

connect

 

to

 

the

 

instance

 

thus

 

port

 

20

 

and

 

port

 

22

 

should

 

always

 

be

 

open.

 

As

 

a

 

recommendation

 

for

 

people

 

getting

 

started

 

with

 

AWS

 

EC2

 

and

 

Aicache

 

set

 

the

 

firewall

 

to

 

be

 

very

 

permissive;

 

you

 

can

 

come

 

back

 

later

 

and

 

change

 

the

 

firewall

 

policy

 

to

 

suit

 

your

 

needs.

 

Thus

 

all

 

you

 

have

 

to

 

do

 

is

 

to

 

select

 

SSH

 

port22

 

then

 

continue,

 

by

 

default

 

this

 

translates

 

to

 

an

 

instance

 

with

 

all

 

ports

 

open.

 

 

l

 

Once

 

you

 

are

 

done

 

with

 

the

 

security

 

groups

 

click

 

continue

  

m

 

Next

 

you

 

will

 

be

 

presented

 

with

 

the

 

final

 

screen

 

where

 

u

 

select

 

the

 

number

 

of

 

aicache

 

instances

 

you

 

would

 

like

 

to

 

start,

 

select

 

the

 

security

 

group

 

and

 

the

 

key

 

pair,

 

and

 

then

 

launch

 

the

 

instance.
