For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.
Creates a WebACL, which contains the Rules that identify the
CloudFront web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. AWS WAF
evaluates Rules in order based on the value of Priority for each
Rule.
You also specify a default action, either ALLOW or BLOCK. If a web
request doesn\'t match any of the Rules in a WebACL, AWS WAF
responds to the request with the default action.
To create and configure a WebACL, perform the following steps:
Create and update the ByteMatchSet objects and other predicates
that you want to include in Rules. For more information, see
CreateByteMatchSet, UpdateByteMatchSet, CreateIPSet, UpdateIPSet,
CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet, and UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet.
Create and update the Rules that you want to include in the
WebACL. For more information, see CreateRule and UpdateRule.
Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the
ChangeToken parameter of a CreateWebACL request.
Submit a CreateWebACL request.
Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the
ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateWebACL request.
Submit an UpdateWebACL request to specify the Rules that you want
to include in the WebACL, to specify the default action, and to
associate the WebACL with a CloudFront distribution.
For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
