Using protection pack or web ACLs with rules and rule groups in Amazon WAF

This section introduces how protection packs and web ACLs work with rules and rule groups.

The way a protection pack or web ACL handles a web request depends on the following:

  • The numeric priority settings of the rules in the protection pack or web ACL and inside rule groups

  • The action settings on the rules and protection pack or web ACL

  • Any overrides that you place on the rules in the rule groups that you add

For a list of the rule action settings, see Using rule actions in Amazon WAF.

You can customize request and response handling in your rule action settings and default protection pack or web ACL action settings. For information, see Customized web requests and responses in Amazon WAF.
