SonicOS 7 Profile Objects
AWS Objects
The AWS page is used to map the IP addresses of EC2 Instances running in the AWS Cloud with address objects and address groups configured on the firewall.
New address objects are created for Instance IP addresses, address groups for all addresses of an Instance and those Instance address groups can be added to existing address groups. Those objects, as with any other address objects and address groups, can then be used in firewall policies and features to permit or block access, route traffic and so on.
The Profile Objects > AWS page allows a SonicOS administrator to specify sets of EC2 Instance properties. If any of the Instances in one of the monitored regions matches a set of properties, address objects and address groups are created so that, effectively an address group representing the Instance is added to the custom, pre-existing address group specified in the relevant mapping. This address group can be used in firewall policies and, thus, those policies can shape the interaction with EC2 Instances running on AWS.
