useOpsworksSecurityGroups

Whether to associate the OpsWorks Stacks built-in security groups with the stack's layers.

OpsWorks Stacks provides a standard set of security groups, one for each layer, which are associated with layers by default. With UseOpsworksSecurityGroups you can instead provide your own custom security groups. UseOpsworksSecurityGroups has the following settings:

• True - OpsWorks Stacks automatically associates the appropriate built-in security group with each layer (default setting). You can associate additional security groups with a layer after you create it but you cannot delete the built-in security group.

• False - OpsWorks Stacks does not associate built-in security groups with layers. You must create appropriate Amazon EC2 security groups and associate a security group with each layer that you create. However, you can still manually associate a built-in security group with a layer on creation; custom security groups are required only for those layers that need custom settings.
