Hi,

I am trying to create a rate based WAF rule, but I don’t see how to do it. I am only able to create a “normal” rule with a condition of type IP, geo, etc. The aws\_waf\_condition and aws\_waf\_rule modules have no option for it in the type parameter. But it is possible to connect a rate based rule with a web ACL. The module aws\_waf\_web\_acl module has a parameter “rules”, which has a type key and its value can either be rate\_based or regular.

So, my question is, how can I create a rate baed waf rule?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,  
Daniel
