AWS Config Adds Support for AWS WAF and Amazon CloudFront

Posted on: Nov 15, 2017

AWS Config adds support for the following resource types: 

AWS WAF
You can now record configuration changes to AWS WAF with AWS Config. AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect your web applications from common web exploits that could affect application availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. With Config, you can now track changes to WAF web access control lists (web ACLs). For example, you can record creation and deletion of rules and rule actions, as well as updates to WAF rule configurations. You can also track changes to Application Load Balancer associations and default actions.

AWS Config supports the AWS WAF regional resources in the following AWS regions: US East (N.Virginia), US West (Oregon), US West (N.California), EU (Ireland) and Asia Pacific (Tokyo). The WAF global resources are supported only in the US East (N. Virginia) AWS public region.

Amazon CloudFront
You can now also record configuration changes to Amazon CloudFront. CloudFront is a global content delivery network (CDN) service that securely delivers data, videos, applications, and APIs to your viewers with low latency and high transfer speeds. With Config, you can now record changes to the CloudFront distribution settings. For example, you can capture distribution state changes, changes to price classes, origins, geo restriction settings, and Lambda@Edge associations with your CloudFront distribution.

AWS Config supports Amazon CloudFront in the AWS US East (N. Virginia) public region.
