Dear users, Alibaba Cloud plans to optimize and upgrade the basic protection rule module of Web Application Firewall (WAF) 3.0. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Schedule
The upgrade is expected to start from 00:00:00 on September 30, 2024 (UTC+8). The actual effective time shall prevail.
Description
After the upgrade, you can separately change the status and action of each rule of the basic protection rule module. You can also configure custom protection rules in hybrid cloud scenarios.
After the upgrade, the protection rule group feature is replaced by the engine configuration feature.
If an existing protection rule group is associated with a protection template, the group rules are automatically synchronized to the Engine Configuration section of the template. The rules are not affected by the upgrade.
If an existing protection rule group is not associated with a protection template, the protection rule group is unpublished after the upgrade. If you want to back up rules in the protection rule group, create a protection template and associate the protection rule group with the protection template.
After the upgrade, you are not charged for protection rule groups or protocol compliance if your WAF instance uses the pay-as-you-go billing method.
