Terraform module to configure WAF V2 Web ACL with managed rules for Application Load Balancer

terraform-aws-waf-webaclv2

Terraform module to configure WAF Web ACL V2 for Application Load Balancer or Cloudfront distribution.

Supported WAF v2 components:

• The module supports all AWS-managed rules defined in this AWS documentation.
• Associating WAFv2 ACL with one or more Application Load Balancers (ALB)
• Blocking IP Sets
• Rate limiting IPs (and optional scope down statements)
• Byte Match statements
• Geo set statements
• Logical Statements (AND, OR, NOT)
• Size constraint statements
• Label Match statements
• Regex Match statements
• Regex Pattern Match statements
• Custom responses
• Attach Custom Rule Groups
