AltostratusHow to configure AWS f5 rules - Web ACL?
The AWS web acl ux only has a number of pre-configured 'triggers' aka if it matches xss etc. What I don't understand is that if rules are to be 'globally' applied to all website (not just xss!) there is no selection on the web acl.
I can choose from 'a rule that matches xss', 'a rule that matches an ip' ... How do I make a rule that will cause the f5 waf to trigger?

See my comment above. You just bypass the generic aws rules, and hit 'next' on the waf creation wizard. Then assign rules and you off to the races.

thanks for reporting back and sharing the answer.
The last F5 Agility conference had a lab for F5 ruleset on AWS WAF. Take a look.

And quick demo video by an F5 Solutions Architect:

What I meant to say is how do I get the rules to apply globally to any reqeust not just ones that match xss or from a geographic region? Looks like I might just use a * for string match?

I called amazon. You just hit the 'next' button and bypass the web acl categories. Its on the 'next' page on the wizard. Then you use f5 managed rules and you are good to go.
