appliance.
AWS Storage
Gateway does
not require
port 80 to
be publicly
accessible.
The required
level of access
to port 80
depends on
your network
configuration.
If you activate
your gateway
from the
AWS Storage
Gateway
Management
Console, the
host from
which you
connect to the
console must
have access to
your gateway’s
port 80.
