I am now getting a Failure for CodeBuild on the DOWNLOAD_SOURCE phase.
CLIENT_ERROR: RequestError: send request failed caused by: Get "https://codepipeline-us-east-1-215861945190.s3.amazonaws.com/diag-upload-pipe/SourceArti/jiUJWyf": dial tcp 52.217.106.244:443: i/o timeout for primary source and source version arn:aws:s3:::codepipeline-us-east-1-215861945190/diag-upload-pipe/SourceArti/jiUJWyf
I have tried adding S3 permissions for full access to no avail. I've also tried following the advice from Ryan Williams in the comments here: DOWNLOAD_SOURCE Failed AWS CodeBuild
Still unable to get past this error.
I have my VPC
Main route table for the VPC(rtb05b) Routes - 10.0.0.0/16 with a local target and 0.0.0.0/0 with nat-0ad target
Subnet associations - subnet-0a7
subnet-0a7 routes 10.0.0.0/16 with a local target and 0.0.0.0/0 with nat-0ad target
Mixed route route table - rtb-026 routes 10.0.0.0/16 with a local target and 0.0.0.0/0 with internet gateway igw-0305 target
Associated subnets for the mixed route table are a Private and Public subnet
I feel like there has to be a problem with the routing since there's an i/o timeout but I can't for the life of me figure out where I went wrong.
I faced exactly the same problem.
In my case, it was due to the Security Group Egress setting in CodeBuild.
Here is what I did when I built the resource using CloudFormation.
Step 1: Create a SecurityGroup for CodeBuild
CodeBuildSecurityGroup:
Type: AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup
Properties:
VpcId: !Ref VPC
Step 2: Set up an Egress to allow all outbound traffic to the SecurityGroup created in Step 1.
CodeBuildEgressAllAccess:
Type: AWS::EC2::SecurityGroupEgress
Properties:
GroupId: !Ref CodeBuildSecurityGroup
CidrIp: '0.0.0.0/0'
FromPort: -1
ToPort: -1
IpProtocol: '-1'
Step 3: Set up an egress to allow outbound traffic to connect to RDS MySQL.
CodeBuildEgressToMySQL:
Type: AWS::EC2::SecurityGroupEgress
Properties:
GroupId: !Ref CodeBuildSecurityGroup
DestinationSecurityGroupId: !Ref RdsMySQLSecurityGroup
FromPort: 3306
ToPort: 3306
IpProtocol: tcp
When I deployed the stack with this content, the only outbound traffic allowed to the SecurityGroup for CodeBuild is RDS MySQL.
All allowed Egress Rule created in Step 2 was ignored. So outbound traffic such as Internet, S3 and others will be denied.
Your build project environment should belongs to ONLY private subnet, which has 0.0.0.0/0 route to NAT in the route table. Also check their security group to allow https requests.

Although the template above allows me to create an EC2 instance, it does not allow me to access it using EC2 Instance Connect.
How do I configure EC2 Instance Connect within the CloudFormation template?

On Amazon Linux 2 (any version) and Ubuntu 16.04 or later EC2 Instance Connect is installed and working by default. So you don't have to do anything.
For other AMIs, you have to use user_data to install and setup
the connect yourself.
Ensure you have a public IP assigned.
As per docs:
To connect using the Amazon EC2 console (browser-based client), the instance must have a public IPv4 address.**
You can also
connect to the EC2 instance via other methods if you do not want to / cannot assign a public IPv4 address:
If the instance does not have a public IP address, you can connect to the instance over a private network using an SSH client or the EC2 Instance Connect CLI. For example, you can connect from within the same VPC or through a VPN connection, transit gateway, or AWS Direct Connect.
FYI: for other AMIs with Linux distributions other than Amazon Linux 2 or Ubuntu 16.04+, you will need extra configuration as Marcin's answer points out.
ami-074cce78125f09d61 in us-east-2 is coming up for me as Amazon Linux 2 AMI (HVM), SSD Volume Type which supports EC2 Instance Connect by default, so your AMI should be fine.

I would suggest re-creating the default VPC in the VPC section of the console per amazons instructions. Its a good idea NOT to use the default VPC and to create and configure your own as you describe. Internally there is something special about the default VPC that is not exposed via the console or API. I suspect that is the root cause of your issue, and creating a new default VPC should fix it.
AFAIK theres no issue in renaming the default VPC (mine are named Default VPC - DO NOT USE).
The scope of a SG is limited within a VPC. So its a mandatory field while creating a SecurityGroup to specify a value for VpcId .
It may be an item under EC2 buts its scope is within a VPC. You cannot create a SG without specifying a VPC. Just like you cant create an EC2 without specifying its Subnet and VPC.
Can you remove ** and try?
In the AWS VPC, I added a security group for the database access that allows any request from a specific CIDR IP on port 3306. This CIDR IP includes private subnets as well as public subnets. A public subnet is allowed so that database can explicitly be connected to developers machines using bastion host (EC2 instance configured on VPC's public subnet and assigned an IP from Amazon's pool of public IPs).
Ideally, services on a private subnet should able to connect to a database.
Rather than defining the network mask from where the connection is allowed in one security group, is there any elegant way to do it (probably by creating two security groups as defined in this AWS document)?
Database should connect only on 3306 port but services should be allowed to use any port for the database access. How to configure a security group to achieve this? For example, one security group that allows requests on only 3306 port (this security group can be attached to the database). And, another security that allows connection to all ports (this security group can be attached to microservices instances). Somehow this microservice security group should be mapped to a database security group in such a way that no matter on what port request is coming from it should in turn call database security group on 3306 port. Can this be done?
Tried something along this line:
DBConnectableSecurityGroup:
Type: AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup
Properties:
VpcId: ...
GroupDescription: Allows for connection to the DB cluster.
ServerlessDBSecurityGroup:
Type: AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup
Properties:

OutboundRule:

GroupId: !GetAtt ServerlessDBSecurityGroup.GroupId
App-SG -- Inbound Rule
DB-SG -- Inbound Rule (source is pointing to App-SG)
App-SG and DB-SG -- Outbound Rule
Now I associate App-SG with an application. This application can successfully connect to the database on port 3306 (same as configured in Inbound Rule of DB-SG).
I associate App-SG with another application. This application uses a different port to connect to the database, port 3310. As App-SG allows all ports, I expect this to connect to the database but this does not work and the connection is refused.
The preferred configuration is:
A security group on the application resource (App-SG) with appropriate inbound permissions to use the application, and the default All Outbound permissions
A security group on the database (DB-SG) that permits inbound connections on the database port from App-SG and All Outbound
That is, DB-SG specifically references App-SG in its inbound rules. This way, any resource that is associated with App-SG will be allowed to communicate with the database. This method avoids having to specify IP address and CIDR ranges and any new resources that use App-SG will automatically gain access to the database.
I am pretty new to CloudFormation. I am creating a VPC, Subnets and security groups. I would also want to create an ACL for each subnet in my VPC.
From what I understand, ACL is a way to assign a firewall rule to all the resources that are held by a given subnet. Please, correct me if i am wrong.
The problem is that i would like to configure an ACL so that all the resources within it can only accept traffic from resources within another ACL.
I know it is possible to create a security groups that only accepts traffic from another security group.
My CloudFormation template would be:
webSubnetACL:
Type: 'AWS::EC2::NetworkAcl'
Properties:
VpcId: !Ref managementVpc
webSubnetAssociation:
Type: 'AWS::EC2::SubnetNetworkAclAssociation'
Properties:
NetworkAclId: !Ref webSubnetACL
SubnetId: !Ref webSubnet
fromWorldHTTP:
Type: 'AWS::EC2::NetworkAclEntry'
Properties:
NetworkAclId: !Ref webSubnetACL
RuleNumber: '300'
Protocol: '6'
PortRange:
From: 80
To: 80
RuleAction: allow
CidrBlock: 0.0.0.0/0
fromWeb:
Type: 'AWS::EC2::NetworkAclEntry'
Properties:
NetworkAclId: !Ref dbSubnetACL
RuleNumber: '102'
Protocol: '6'
PortRange:
From: 3600
To: 3600
RuleAction: allow
CidrBlock: 10.0.0.0/25
So in this case there would be 2 subnets : webSubnet, that will hold web servers, and dbSubnet that will hold databases THAT MUST GRANT CONNECTION ONLY TO resources in webSubnet.
In fromWeb resource i am not able to reference the fromWorldHTTP resource.
Unfortunately you cannot reference any AWS logical resources in your NACL rules (such as a NACL, ENI or Security Group).
If you want to whitelist you must add an explicit CIDR range of the subnets that you want to allow ingress/egress connections for.
If any of the subnet ranges are together you may be able to supernet the ranges together to reduce the number of rules.
i am not able to reference the fromWorldHTTP resource.
You can't do this, because its not possible. NACLs can't reference other NACLs. In contrast SGs can reference other SGs, as you pointed out.
NACL rules are soley based on IP addresses and IP ranges. Thus, you have to reference IP ranges only in your NACLs.
I am trying to connect to RDS Database from an AWS Lambda (Java).
Which IP should I enable from the RDS Security group rules?
You can't enable this via IP. First you will need to enable VPC access for the Lambda function, during which you will assign it a Security Group. Then, within the Security Group assigned to the RDS instance you will enable access for the Security Group assigned to the Lambda function.
You can configure Lambda to access your RDS instance.
You can enable this using Lambda management console.
Select Lambda function which need access to RDS instance and then go to Configuration -> Advanced settings and select the VPC (which is your RDS instance is in) you need it to access.
find out more here
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/vpc.html
For anyone else searching for a more detailed solution, or lambda config provisioned via AWS SAM / Cloudformation, what worked for me was:
i. create a Security Group (SG) allowing outbound traffic on the desired port you'd like to connect over (eg: 5432 or 3306. Note, inbound rules have no affect on lambda I believe, currently) Apply that SG to your lambda.
ii. create an SG allowing inbound traffic on the same port (say 5432 or 3306) which references the lambda SG, so traffic is locked down to only the lambda. And outbound on the same port (5432 or 3306). Apply that SG to your RDS instance.
Further detail:
Lambda SG:
Direction Protocol Port Source
Outbound TCP 5432 ALL
RDS SG:
Direction Protocol Port Source
Inbound TCP 5432 Lambda SG
Outbound TCP 5432 ALL
SAM template.yaml to provision the main resources you'll probably require including: an RDS cluster (Aurora Postgres serverless to minimise running costs is shown in this example), a Postgres master user password stored in secrets manager, a lambda, an SG that is applied to the lambda allowing outbound traffic on port 5432, an SG that is applied to the RDS cluster referencing the lambda SG (locking down traffic to the lambda) and I have also shown optionally how you may wish to connect to the RDS from your local desktop machine using a desktop DB client (eg DBeaver) over SSH tunnel via a bastion (eg a nano EC2 instance with an EIP attached so it can be stopped and all config remain the same) to admin the RDS from your local machine.
(Please note for a production system you may wish to provision your RDS into a private subnet for security. Provisioning of subnets not covered here for brevity. Also please note for a production system passing a secure secret as an env variable is not best practice the lambda should really resolve the secret each time - however shown passed as an env var for brevity)

Here is what I did
I assigned same Subnets and VPCs to both services Lambda and RDS.
Now I created a NAT Gateway choosing one of the subnet so that Lambda can use that NAT Gateway to interact with the outside world.
Last thing is to add inbound entry in the security group that is attached to RDS as well as Lambda functions. Whitelist DB port 5432 in my case for postgresql and add security group name in the source.
Security group is somehow whitelisting itself by adding an entry in inbound rules.
This worked for me pretty well.
The recommended way is still (1) VPC and data-api, however you can also go with (2) which is RDS proxy (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/using-amazon-rds-proxy-with-aws-lambda/) that supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL since June 30 2020.
You don't need to use IP.
I assume that your RDS is in private subnet of the VPC. This means that your lambda should also be in VPC to communicate with database.
Let's assume that the credentials for your RDS is in secret manager. You can give necessary permission to the secret so that your lambda can access the decrypt secret within lambda function.
Add proper ingress rule to the database. Make sure your security groups are configured properly. You can also use RDS proxy to re-use the db connections to give better performance.
This post talks about how to communicate to RDS from lambda https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/aws-lambda-rds/
