**Name** the Security group, select the appropriate **VPC**, and fill out the **Inbound rules** section with the information provided below. Finally, click **Create security group**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Please note:** If you are using VPC peering, you can later update the rules for your VPC security groups to[ reference security groups in the peered VPC](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/peering/vpc-peering-security-groups.html). In case you are using a Transit Gateway, note that spoke Amazon VPCs cannot reference security groups in other spokes connected to the same AWS Transit Gateway.
