/**
* WAF
*
* This is the latest version of the WAF API, released in November, 2019. The names of the entities that you use
* to access this API, like endpoints and namespaces, all have the versioning information added, like "V2" or "v2", to
* distinguish from the prior version. We recommend migrating your resources to this version, because it has a number of
* significant improvements.
*
*
* If you used WAF prior to this release, you can't use this WAFV2 API to access any WAF resources that you created
* before. You can access your old rules, web ACLs, and other WAF resources only through the WAF Classic APIs. The WAF
* Classic APIs have retained the prior names, endpoints, and namespaces.
*
*
* For information, including how to migrate your WAF resources to this version, see the WAF Developer Guide.
*
*
*
* WAF is a web application firewall that lets you monitor the HTTP and HTTPS requests that are forwarded to an Amazon
* CloudFront distribution, Amazon API Gateway REST API, Application Load Balancer, AppSync GraphQL API, Amazon Cognito
* user pool, App Runner service, or Amazon Web Services Verified Access instance. WAF also lets you control access to
* your content, to protect the Amazon Web Services resource that WAF is monitoring. Based on conditions that you
* specify, such as the IP addresses that requests originate from or the values of query strings, the protected resource
* responds to requests with either the requested content, an HTTP 403 status code (Forbidden), or with a custom
* response.
*
*
* This API guide is for developers who need detailed information about WAF API actions, data types, and errors. For
* detailed information about WAF features and guidance for configuring and using WAF, see the WAF Developer Guide.
*
*
* You can make calls using the endpoints listed in WAF
* endpoints and quotas.
*
*
* -
*
* For regional applications, you can use any of the endpoints in the list. A regional application can be an Application
* Load Balancer (ALB), an Amazon API Gateway REST API, an AppSync GraphQL API, an Amazon Cognito user pool, an App
* Runner service, or an Amazon Web Services Verified Access instance.
*
*
* -
*
* For Amazon CloudFront applications, you must use the API endpoint listed for US East (N. Virginia): us-east-1.
*
*
*
*
* Alternatively, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs to access an API that's tailored to the programming
* language or platform that you're using. For more information, see Amazon
* Web Services SDKs.
*
*
* We currently provide two versions of the WAF API: this API and the prior versions, the classic WAF APIs. This new API
* provides the same functionality as the older versions, with the following major improvements:
*
*
* -
*
* You use one API for both global and regional applications. Where you need to distinguish the scope, you specify a
* Scope parameter and set it to CLOUDFRONT or REGIONAL.
*
*
* -
*
* You can define a web ACL or rule group with a single call, and update it with a single call. You define all rule
* specifications in JSON format, and pass them to your rule group or web ACL calls.
*
*
* -
*
* The limits WAF places on the use of rules more closely reflects the cost of running each type of rule. Rule groups
* include capacity settings, so you know the maximum cost of a rule group when you use it.
