Customizing AWS WAF Anti-DDoS AMR Responses for L7

🛡️This post explains how to customize AWS WAF Anti-DDoS AMR responses to Layer 7 DDoS events using labels and additional rules. It summarizes the AMR’s baseline‑and‑anomaly approach, default mitigations (a mix of Block and JavaScript Challenge), and the importance of excluding non‑challengeable paths. Three practical examples show geo‑based blocking, tightened rate limits, and adaptive capacity‑aware defenses, with JSON/IaC configuration guidance.
