+**NOTE**: If you are already using AWS for EC2, you may consider creating a [VPC](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/create-vpc.html), [subnet](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/create-subnets.html), and a [security group](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/working-with-security-groups.html) with outbound traffic on port 443 to isolate your runners from the rest of your AWS account.
