Usage¶
Arguments¶
Name
[required] The name of the web ACL. You cannot change the name of a web ACL after you create it.
Scope
[required] Specifies whether this is for an Amazon CloudFront distribution or for a regional application. A regional application can be an Application Load Balancer (ALB), an Amazon API Gateway REST API, an AppSync GraphQL API, an Amazon Cognito user pool, an App Runner service, or an Amazon Web Services Verified Access instance.
To work with CloudFront, you must also specify the Region US East (N. Virginia) as follows:
CLI - Specify the Region when you use the CloudFront scope:
--scope=CLOUDFRONT --region=us-east-1
.API and SDKs - For all calls, use the Region endpoint us-east-1.
Id
[required] The unique identifier for the web ACL. This ID is returned in the responses to create and list commands. You provide it to operations like update and delete.
LockToken
[required] A token used for optimistic locking. WAF returns a token to your
get
andlist
requests, to mark the state of the entity at the time of the request. To make changes to the entity associated with the token, you provide the token to operations likeupdate
anddelete
. WAF uses the token to ensure that no changes have been made to the entity since you last retrieved it. If a change has been made, the update fails with aWAFOptimisticLockException
. If this happens, perform anotherget
, and use the new token returned by that operation.
Value¶
An empty list.
