To meet the company’s security requirements, the following solutions should be used together:

A. Enable the VPN on the bastion host (or directly use the VPN image on Alibaba Cloud Marketplace). The administrator uses VPN encrypted communication during O&M. This solution can support secure remote O&M, because VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that creates a secure and encrypted connection over the Internet between the bastion host and the administrator’s device. VPN can protect the data transmitted between the bastion host and the administrator from being intercepted or tampered by malicious third parties1. Alibaba Cloud provides VPN Gateway service that allows users to create VPN connections between VPCs and on-premises data centers, or between VPCs in different regions2. Users can also use VPN images from Alibaba Cloud Marketplace, such as OpenVPN, to create VPN servers on ECS instances3.

B. Build an independent ECS instance as the bastion host or remote logon and O&M, and authorize the bastion host to access ECS instances running other subsystems. This solution can also support secure remote O&M, because a bastion host is a special-purpose ECS instance that acts as a proxy or a gateway for accessing other ECS instances in the VPC. A bastion host can enhance the security of the ECS instances by limiting the exposure of the ECS instances to the public network, and by implementing security policies and monitoring tools on the bastion host4. Alibaba Cloud provides Bastionhost service that allows users to centrally manage the access to cloud servers from external networks and provide secure connections to VPC resources5.

C. Use the security group function of the ECS instance, and respectively deploy ECS instances running different subsystems to independent security groups. This solution can isolate the networks between subsystems, because a security group is a virtual firewall that controls the inbound and outbound traffic of the ECS instances in the group. Users can configure security group rules to allow or deny access based on the network protocol, port, and source IP address. By deploying ECS instances running different subsystems to independent security groups, users can prevent unauthorized access or communication between the subsystems6.

The other solution is not suitable for the company’s scenario, for the following reason:

D. Create multiple ECS instances in the VPC to install subsystems of different departments- Allocate only Intranet IP addresses to all ECS instances, and deploy them in the same security groups. This solution cannot isolate the networks between subsystems, because ECS instances in the same security group can communicate with each other by default, regardless of whether they have intranet or internet IP addresses. Moreover, this solution may also prevent the ECS instances from accessing the internet or providing external services, which may affect the business operation of the company6.

A route table is a set of rules that determine how network traffic is routed within a VPC or between different network instances1. A VRouter is a hub that connects all VSwitches in the same VPC and enables communication between them2. When you create a VPC, a VRouter and a default route table are automatically created for the VPC1. The default route table contains system routes that are automatically generated by the system based on the network topology1. The system routes cannot be modified or deleted1.

However, you can also create custom route tables for your VPC and add custom routes to them1. Custom routes are manually configured by users to route traffic to specific destinations, such as other VPCs, VBRs, VPN Gateways, or NAT Gateways1. Custom routes can be modified or deleted as needed1. You can also associate VSwitches with different route tables to implement fine-grained routing control1.

Therefore, the statement that the routing entries of the route table can not be modified manually is not correct, as it only applies to system routes, not custom routes. The other statements are correct, as each VRouter may have multiple route tables, one default and several custom1; when a VPC is deleted, the corresponding route table is also deleted3; and the default route table cannot be deleted1. References: Route table overview - Virtual Private Cloud - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center, VRouter overview - Virtual Private Cloud - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center, Delete a VPC - Virtual Private Cloud - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Before data communication is set up, the security groups match the security group rules one by one to query whether to allow access requests. If the protocol type, port range, authorization type, and authorization object of two security group rules are the same, the following rules apply:

If the two rules have the same priority, the rule of the denial policy takes effect first, and the rule of the allowed policy does not take effect. This is because the security group rules follow the principle of minimum permission, which means that the most restrictive rule is applied when there is a conflict.

If the two rules have different priorities, the rule with a smaller priority number takes effect. This is because the security group rules follow the principle of priority, which means that the rule with a higher priority (lower number) is applied when there is a conflict. References: ECS Security Groups - Alibaba Fundamentals - Cloud Academy, Security group rules - Elastic Compute Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center
