How to add a Security Group to a cloud instance

Note: This article relates to a product currently in beta testing.

Security Groups are sets of IP filter rules that act as a virtual firewall for your instances to control ingress and egress traffic. 

Note: Adding a security group to an instance can leave the instance vulnerable to attack or expose sensitive data if the security rules added are not sufficient.
