Summary

This chapter covered a range of methods and services that can be used to help you protect and manage your EC2 instances. Compute resources, which of course include EC2 instances, are likely to be widely used within your environment, and as a result you should be familiar with an array of techniques and methods to protect and secure them at all levels. This includes being able to detect potential threats and vulnerabilities, access management, compliance, and operational maintenance. All of these points are essential when looking at how best to secure your EC2 instances. Some of the topics and services that are mentioned here will be covered in more detail in later chapters of the book.

In the following chapter, my focus will be moving on to securing your infrastructure within AWS. This will include your VPC and its core components, including network access control lists (NACLs), security groups, network segmentation, NAT gateways, and internet gateways.
