How AWS WAF works with Amazon CloudFront features

  • Note Responses that you customize using AWS WAF rules take precedence over any response specifications that you define in CloudFront custom error pages.

  • Note CloudFront can't distinguish between an HTTP status code 403 that is returned by your origin and one that is returned by AWS WAF when a request is blocked. This means that you can't return different custom error pages based on the different causes of an HTTP status code 403.

Security in your use of the AWS WAF service

  • Note This section provides standard AWS security guidance for your use of the AWS WAF service and its AWS resources, such as AWS WAF web ACLs and rule groups. For information about protecting your AWS resources using AWS WAF, see the rest of the AWS WAF guide.
