33.3 Excluding or Including an AWS Security Group

Discovered Security Group resources for a target AWS platform are automatically included in the list of resources available for migrations. You can use the Exclude action on the Security Groups tab in the Platform dialog to hide specified security groups in migration menus. The excluded resource appears dimmed in the Platform Associations list. Excluded resources do not appear in other dialogs for planning.

NOTE:For enhanced tracking, workload associations to an excluded security group are not available for the Security Group resource.

To exclude a Security Group resource for a target AWS platform:

  1. In the Web Interface toolbar, select Platforms, select the platform, then click Edit.

  2. Under Associations, select the Security Groups tab.

  3. Select the appropriate security group, click Exclude.

  4. If workloads are associated with the security group, you are prompted to confirm the exclusion. Click Yes to continue, or click No to cancel.

You can use the Include action to enable an excluded security group. Including the previously excluded resource does not reinstate any prior associations it had before you excluded it.
