AWS WAFV2 examples using Tools for PowerShell

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS Tools for PowerShell with AWS WAFV2.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use New-WAF2WebACL.

Tools for PowerShell

Example 1: This command creates a new web ACL named "waf-test". Kindly note that as per service API documentation, 'DefaultAction' is a required property. Hence, value for either '-DefaultAction_Allow' and/or '-DefaultAction_Block' should be specified. Since '-DefaultAction_Allow' and '-DefaultAction_Block' are not the required properties, value '@{}' could be used as placeholder as shown in above example.

New-WAF2WebACL -Name "waf-test" -Scope REGIONAL -Region eu-west-1 -VisibilityConfig_CloudWatchMetricsEnabled $true -VisibilityConfig_SampledRequestsEnabled $true -VisibilityConfig_MetricName "waf-test" -Description "Test" -DefaultAction_Allow @{}

Output:

ARN         : arn:aws:wafv2:eu-west-1:139480602983:regional/webacl/waf-test/19460b3f-db14-4b9a-8e23-a417e1eb007f
