**Warning**  
Amazon WAF Classic is is going through a planned end-of-life process. Refer to your Amazon Health dashboard for the milestones and dates specific to your Region.

**Note**  
This is **Amazon WAF** documentation. You should only use this version if you created Amazon WAF resources, like rules and web ACLs, in Amazon WAF prior to November 2019, and you have not migrated them over to the latest version yet. To migrate your web ACLs, see [Migrating your Amazon WAF Classic resources to Amazon WAF](#waf-migrating-from-classic).  
**For the latest version of Amazon WAF**, see [Amazon WAF](waf-chapter.md). 

This section provides guidance for migrating your rules and protection packs (web ACLs) from Amazon WAF Classic to Amazon WAF. Amazon WAF was released in November 2019. If you created resources like rules and protection packs (web ACLs) using Amazon WAF Classic, you either need to work with them using Amazon WAF Classic or migrate them to this latest version. 

**Warning**  
Amazon WAF Classic support will end on September 30, 2025. 

Before you start your migration work, familiarize yourself with Amazon WAF by reading through [Amazon WAF](waf-chapter.md).
