NLB need to Attach AWS WAF

Question

I Is it possible to attach NLB in AWS WAF, If yes this option not showing in console.
Could you please provide step how to do that, what are changes need to done.

We configured same region, same VPC but option not showing in NLB in WAF console.

Answer

Hi,

NLB is a Lyer 3/4 component while WAF is a Layer 7 protection component.

That is why WAF is only available for Application Load Balancer in the ELB portfolio. NLB does not terminate the TLS session therefore WAF is not capable of acting on the content. I would consider using AWS Shield at Layer 3/4.

Answer

As stated above, WAF does not integrate with the NLB. Depending on your requirements, a [Network Firewall](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/networking-and-content-delivery/deployment-models-for-aws-network-firewall-with-vpc-routing-enhancements/) may be appropriate.
