SSH between EC2 instances not permitted

I am setting up a few of instances in a shared AWS account and want to give them access to each other but don't permit access from other instances in the account.

I created security group and added SSH from "My IP" for login and that works well and I can login.

Now I need to SSH between all of them but I can't even though they are in the same security group.

How can I do that?

In the configuration for your security group you want to use to allow SSH between the instances:

Go to the Inbound tab
1. Click Edit
2. Click Add Rule
3. For Type select SSH
4. For Source enter the Security Group ID
5. Save

Go to the Oubound tab
1. Click Edit
2. Click Add Rule
3. For Type select SSH
4. For Destination enter the Security Group ID
5. Save

So you're setting up some cluster on AWS and need SSH access between the nodes, correct? You have 2 options:

The naive one is to add each instance IP to the Security Group Inbound list - but that means you'll need to update the SG every time you add a new instance in the cluster. (If you ever do). Don't do this, I only mentioned it for completeness.

Far better is to use the Security Group ID itself as the source of the traffic.

It's important to understand that SG is not only an inbound filter but also tags all outbound traffic - and you can then refer to the originating SG ID in the same or other security groups.

Have a look at the default security group in your VPC. You'll most likely see something like this:

self-referencing security group

Note that the rule refers to the Security Group ID itself.

With this rule everything that originates from any host that's a member of your security group will be accepted by all other members / instances in the group.

In your case you may want to restrict it to SSH, ICMP (if you need ping working) or any other ports you need.

Hope that helps :)

You should add a rule that enables SSH with source being the group ID itself.

E.g. if your security group id is sg-12345678 you can add a rule in that very group that opens SSH from sg-12345678.

Also make sure that the Outbound tab has a rule for 0.0.0.0/0 or at least again for SSH to sg-12345678 otherwise the outbound traffic will be blocked. By default the 0.0.0.0/0 should be there.
