Environment security groups

Depending on what you choose during environment creation, Cloudera can create security groups for your environment automatically, or you can provide your own security groups.

  • If you choose to use your own security groups, you are asked to create Knox and Default security groups as described in the Security groups documentation.
  • If you choose for Cloudera to create all security groups required for an environment, the following security groups are created:
