 Q7. Can a EC2 instance have multiple Security Groups ? Can a single security group be assigned to multiple Ec2 instances ? If either of them is true , doesn't it result in conflict ?Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Ans. We can assign multiple security groups to single instance and we can use single security group with multiple instances.

It never results in conflict as security groups only have allow rules and no deny rules. Multiple security groups for an instance results in union of all rules.
