Block outbound traffic on EC2

Question

Is ther a way to configure EC2 Security Groups so that they do not allow specific types of outbound connectivity (such as making HTTP requests to the public internet)?

Answer 1

I don't believe so, no. You may have better luck on ServerFault, though.

AFAIK, EC2 security groups are only for accessing the server (eg, keypairs); any internal connectivity would probably have to be regulated through iptables.
