An AWS WAF Rule defines a set of conditions used to inspect and control web requests based on criteria such as IP addresses, HTTP headers, or query strings. Rules are building blocks that can be combined into WebACLs to allow, block, or count requests. They help protect applications from common web exploits and unwanted traffic.
