WebAcl
This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.
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.
Contains the Rules that identify the requests that you want to allow, block, or count. In a WebACL, you also specify a default action (ALLOW or BLOCK), and the action for each Rule that you add to a WebACL, for example, block requests from specified IP addresses or block requests from specified referrers. You also associate the WebACL with a CloudFront distribution to identify the requests that you want AWS WAF to filter. If you add more than one Rule to a WebACL, a request needs to match only one of the specifications to be allowed, blocked, or counted. For more information, see UpdateWebACL.
