Using the AWS SDKs - AWS WAF, AWS Firewall Manager, AWS Shield Advanced, and AWS Shield network security director

Introducing a new console experience for AWS WAF

You can now use the updated experience to access AWS WAF functionality anywhere in the console. For more details, see Working with the console.

Using the AWS SDKs

If you use a language that AWS provides an SDK for, use the SDK rather than trying to work your way through the APIs. The SDKs make authentication simpler, integrate easily with your development environment, and provide easy access to AWS WAF and Shield Advanced commands. For more information about the AWS SDKs, see Download tools in the topic Setting up your account to use the services.
