The '''default security group''' contains rules which allow a VM access out to the internet, for example to download operating system upgrades or package installations, but does not allow another machine to access it, except for other VMs belonging to the same default security group. We recommend you do not remove rules from the default security group as this may cause problems when creating new VMs. You may recall, however, in the [[Cloud Quick Start]] you were directed to add a security rule for port 22 to allow incoming traffic so that you were able to connect to your VM ([[Cloud Quick Start#Firewall, add rules to allow SSH|Firewall, add rules to allow SSH]]). | The '''default security group''' contains rules which allow a VM access out to the internet, for example to download operating system upgrades or package installations, but does not allow another machine to access it, except for other VMs belonging to the same default security group.
