Overview
The Barracuda CloudGen WAF detects all inbound web traffic and blocks SQL injections, cross-site scripting, malware uploads, volumetric & application DDoS, or any other attacks against your web applications. It also inspects the HTTP responses from the configured back-end servers for data loss prevention (DLP). The integrated access control engine enables administrators to create granular access control policies for Authentication, Authorization & Accounting (AAA), which gives organizations strong authentication and user control. The onboard L4/L7 load balancing capabilities enable organizations to quickly add back-end servers to scale deployments as they grow. Its application acceleration capabilities, including SSL offloading, caching, compression, and connection pooling, ensure faster application delivery of web application content. The Barracuda CloudGen WAF also supports autoscaling and bootstrapping.
NOTE: Only AMIs with version 10.x or higher version support the Elastic Network Adapters (ENA).

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
- By default, the Barracuda Web Application Firewall web interface listens on HTTP/8000 and HTTPS/8443 ports, so make sure these ports are added in the Inbound Rule of the security group which is associated with the Barracuda Web Application Firewall VM.
- Allow a few minutes before taking any further actions in the EC2 Portal after deploying the Barracuda Web Application Firewall. During this time, the Barracuda Web Application Firewall is getting provisioned and licensed.
- Access the Barracuda Web Application Firewall using the associated Public IP/Public DNS with port 8000 over HTTP i.e. http://
:8000. - You will see the blue loading screen for some time and eventually you will be presented with the End User License Agreement (EULA).
- Click “Accept” button and you will be redirected to the login page.
- Log in as "admin" to begin configurations. Your initial password is the EC2 instance ID, and can be changed later from Basic > Administration page.

Customer reviews
the WAF with amazing pre and post deployment support
We have evaluated a few other WAF solutions⦠and our overall experience with the others compared to Barracuda re-enforces our final decision to go with BarracudaâÂÂs WAF.
Here is why BarracudaâÂÂs WAF stood outâ¦
They have a knowledgeable and capable onboarding team and process.
They have a responsive support team.
Their http://campus.barracuda.com site and the built-in online help docs (accessible from the WAF) are well written and actionable.
Barracuda's WAF helped us secure more instances on AWS.
Within minutes, the solution was easily deployed using the AWS Marketplace and analyzing traffic in passive mode. Once the necessary changes were applied, the WAF was in production mode and protecting traffic.
Their WAF solution also includes a geo-filtering feature that allowed us to decommission an instance from an alternate provider.
