Description

Adding further restrictions on HTTP out from our VPC

Context

From pen test:

A security group was configured that allowed overly permissive ingress and egress access to HTTPS. As each subnet associated with the security group was private and had no route to the Internet, this configuration presented a reduced risk. Despite this, permitting all outbound traffic flows did not reflect security best practice, which recommends that access from resources to other services be restricted in as granular a manner as possible.

The following table shows the affected Security Group rules:

This is the 'main-vpc' SG, we should look at restricting it:
