# AWS WAF v2 Terraform Module Terraform module which creates AWS WAF v2 Web ACL resources with comprehensive rule support. [![SWUbanner](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vshymanskyy/StandWithUkraine/main/banner2-direct.svg)](https://github.com/vshymanskyy/StandWithUkraine/blob/main/docs/README.md) ## Usage ```hcl module "wafv2" { source = "terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws" name = "my-web-acl" scope = "REGIONAL" default_action = "allow" rules = { common-rule-set = { priority = 1 override_action = "none" statement = { managed_rule_group_statement = { name = "AWSManagedRulesCommonRuleSet" vendor_name = "AWS" } } } rate-limit = { priority = 2 action = "block" statement = { rate_based_statement = { limit = 1000 } } } } tags = { Environment = "dev" Terraform = "true" } } ``` ## Features - Full coverage of AWS provider WAFv2 surface: every WAFv2 resource is supported by the root module or a submodule - AWS WAF v2 Web ACL with comprehensive rule statement support - All 12+ statement types: byte match, geo match, IP set reference, label match, managed rule group, rate based, regex match, regex pattern set reference, rule group reference, size constraint, SQLi match, XSS match - Compound statements (AND, OR, NOT) with 2 levels of nesting, including AND/OR inside `scope_down_statement` - Dual-mode actions: simple string (`"allow"`, `"block"`, `"count"`, `"captcha"`, `"challenge"`) or objects with custom response/request handling - Custom response bodies - CAPTCHA and challenge configuration - Association configuration for request body size limits - Optional inline Web ACL associations - Optional inline logging configuration - Submodules for IP sets, regex pattern sets, Web ACL associations, logging configuration, custom rule groups, standalone Web ACL rules, Web ACL ↔ rule group associations, and CAPTCHA API keys ## Conditional Creation The module supports conditional resource creation: ```hcl module "wafv2" { source = "terraform-aws-modules/wafv2/aws" create = false } ``` ## Submodules -
