Step 3: Configure the host to accept all of the Amazon Redshift cluster's IP addresses - Amazon Redshift

Step 3: Configure the host to accept all of the Amazon Redshift cluster's IP addresses

If you are working with an Amazon EC2 instance or an Amazon EMR cluster, add Inbound rules to the host's security group to allow traffic from each Amazon Redshift cluster node. For Type, select SSH with TCP protocol on Port 22. For Source, enter the Amazon Redshift cluster node IP addresses you retrieved in Step 1: Retrieve the cluster public key and cluster node IP addresses. For information about adding rules to an Amazon EC2 security group, see Authorizing Inbound Traffic for Your Instances in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Use the private IP addresses when:

  • You have an Amazon Redshift cluster that is not in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), and an Amazon EC2 -Classic instance, both of which are in the same AWS Region.

  • You have an Amazon Redshift cluster that is in a VPC, and an Amazon EC2 -VPC instance, both of which are in the same AWS Region and in the same VPC.

Otherwise, use the public IP addresses.

For more information about using Amazon Redshift in a VPC, see Managing Clusters in Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in the Amazon Redshift Management Guide.
