You can call the DescribeSecurityGroupConfiguration operation to query the security groups of Elastic Compute Service (ECS) that are added to the whitelist of an instance.

After an ECS security group is added to the whitelist of an instance, the ECS instances in the security group can access the RDS instance. For more information about how to configure a whitelist, see Configure an IP address whitelist for an ApsaraDB RDS instance.
