Security group

As explained in Build Python Web Apps with Streamlit

A security group is an AWS virtual firewall that controls inbound and outbound traffic for network resources.

How Build Python Web Apps with Streamlit covers it

How deep it goes

Defines the virtual-firewall role and deployment placement but does not detail individual traffic rules.

Examples

Uses a deployed Streamlit application whose Elastic Beanstalk environment includes EC2 instances and a load balancer.

What it assumes

Assumes familiarity with deploying an application through Elastic Beanstalk and recognizing EC2 instances as its runtime.

What you can do after

Evaluate how Elastic Beanstalk configures network protection as part of launching an application.

How it connects

Connects security groups with AWS, Elastic Beanstalk, EC2 instances, load balancers, and auto-scaling groups.
