To use ClassicLink, enable it for a VPC in your account, and associate a Security Group from that VPC with an instance in EC2-Classic. ClassicLink makes it easier to migrate applications from instances in EC2-Classic to instances in a VPC without sending data through the Internet.
You can configure ClassicLink from the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell, or through the AWS SDKs. To learn more about ClassicLink, please visit our documentation.
