### WAF Basics
- 📒 [Homepage](https://aws.amazon.com/waf/) ∙ [Documentation](https://aws.amazon.com/documentation/waf/) ∙ [FAQ](https://aws.amazon.com/waf/faq/) ∙ [Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/waf/pricing)
- WAF is used in conjunction with the CloudFront and ALB services to inspect and block/allow web requests based on user-configurable conditions.
- HTTPS and HTTP requests are supported with this service.
- WAF's strength is in detecting malicious activity based on pattern-matching inputs for attacks such as SQL injections, XSS, etc.
- WAF supports inspection of requests [received through both IPv6 and IPv4.](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2016/10/ipv6-support-for-cloudfront-waf-and-s3-transfer-acceleration/)
### WAF Tips
- Getting a WAF API call history can be done through CloudTrail. This is enabled through the CloudTrail console.
### WAF Gotchas and Limitations
- As of December 2016, WAF is available in the US East (Northern Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo) and EU (Ireland) regions.
