AWS Firewalls

AWS Network Firewall vs WAF vs Security Groups vs NACLs

AWS Network Firewall is stateful, fully managed, network firewall and intrusion detection and prevention service (IDS/IPS) for VPCs.

AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect web applications from attacks by allowing rules configuration that allow, block, or monitor (count) web requests based on defined conditions.

Security groups act as a virtual firewall for associated instances, controlling both inbound and outbound traffic at the instance level

Network access control lists (NACLs) act as a firewall for associated subnets, controlling both inbound and outbound traffic at the subnet level
