AWS::WAFv2::RegexPatternSet - AWS CloudFormation

AWS::WAFv2::RegexPatternSet

Note

This is the latest version of AWS WAF , named AWS WAFV2, released in November, 2019. For information, including how to migrate your AWS WAF resources from the prior release, see the AWS WAF developer guide.

Use an AWS::WAFv2::RegexPatternSet to have AWS WAF inspect a web request component for a specific set of regular expression patterns.

You use a regex pattern set by providing its Amazon Resource Name (ARN) to the rule statement RegexPatternSetReferenceStatement, when you add a rule to a rule group or web ACL.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

Valid Values are CLOUDFRONT and REGIONAL.

Note

For CLOUDFRONT, you must create your WAFv2 resources in the US East (N. Virginia) Region, us-east-1.

Required: Yes

Tags

Key:value pairs associated with an AWS resource. The key:value pair can be anything you define.

You can add up to 50 tags to each AWS resource.
