Starting today, you can use AWS WAF in the Europe (Zurich), Europe (Spain), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), and Australia (Melbourne) regions. AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps you protect your web application resources against common web exploits and bots that can affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. You can protect the following resource types: Amazon CloudFront distributions, Amazon API Gateway REST APIs, Application Load Balancer, AWS AppSync GraphQL API, and Amazon Cognito user pools.
With AWS WAF, you can control access to your content. Based on conditions that you specify, such as the IP addresses that requests originate from or the values of query strings, your protected resource responds to requests with the requested content, an HTTP 403 status code (Forbidden), or a custom response.
To see the full list of regions where AWS WAF is currently available, visit the AWS Region Table. Please note that only core AWS WAF features like AWS Managed Rules and rules are currently available in these new regions. For more information about the service, visit the AWS WAF page. AWS WAF pricing may vary between regions. For more information about pricing, visit the AWS WAF Pricing page.
