Instructions on whitelisting S3 ip address

[sameastburn]

The Simon DB assignment doesn't include instructions for adding our S3 sever's ip address to the Atlas whitelist, unless I missed it. Without this step the server will not be able to connect to our Atlas database. Here is a screenshot of the page where it can be whitelisted.

Thanks for sharing this. These instructions direct you to make the database available from anywhere.

Allowing access from anywhere is important because most students use there laptops in multiple places and they would constantly need to add new IP addresses.

You can always add your servers public IP address if you want to lock things down. You should know what that is from when you created your server.
