AWS WAF can be configured to work with CloudFront to filter malicious traffic based on various criteria, such as IP addresses, HTTP headers, and request patterns. WAF rules can block or rate-limit suspicious requests, preventing them from overwhelming your application. CloudFront distributes the WAF configuration to its edge locations for global protection.
