■ About AWS WAF
AWS WAF is a Web Application Firewall provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that helps protect web applications from common web exploits that could affect application availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. With AWS WAF, you can control which traffic to allow or block to the web applications by specifying customizable web security rules.

■ About AWS WAF update
The AWS WAF provided by AWS has undergone a major update * on November 25, 2019. With the introduction of the WAF capacity unit (WCU), the limit of 10 rules has been lifted and now more rules can be introduced.
In addition, the introduction of the "or" operator makes it easy to create rules for various detection patterns, and it has been updated to a WAF that is easy for customers to use.
The existing AWS WAF has been renamed to “AWS WAF Classic” and can still be used. Customers already using AWS WAF Classic can also migrate to new AWS WAF.
