AWS Stateful vs Stateless

Stateful vs Stateless

AWS Security Group is Stateful and ACL is Stateless, when we open any port in Security Group (Inbound) the same port will get opened in the Outbound and vice versa, the same is not true for ACL, even when you open any port in Inbound, you will need to explicitly open the same in outbound, that’s why ACL is Stateless.
