			* '''Create a Security Group'''

			Each virtual network interface in the DataTenant Public Cloud has a set of ACLs applied to it by default that act as a sort of mini-firewall. These ACL sets are called 'security groups', and the default security group only allows outbound network traffic, while denying all inbound network traffic. So, if you want to be able to control your virtual machine through SSH, RDP, VNC, etc. or allow any other inbound communication with your virtual machine, you'll need to create a new security group for this purpose.

			# On the right hand panel, under 'Cloud', select 'Networking'.
			# The top menu, select 'Security Groups'. At the bottom of that menu, choose 'Create Security Group'.
