Building a secure perimeter with AWS WAF
summary
Shows a concrete setup: build a CloudFront distribution in front of an S3 origin and apply an AWS WAF Web ACL with three managed rules so the site is live and protected in minutes. Two deployment paths are demonstrated: create a Web ACL in AWS WAF to tune rules and priorities or use CloudFront’s one‑click Amazon IP reputation list plus Core Rule Set and Known Bad Inputs to get baseline OWASP and bot protection deployed immediately and monitor before blocking.
