Firewall - AWS Network Firewall

Firewall

The firewall defines the configuration settings for an AWS Network Firewall firewall. These settings include the firewall policy, the subnets in your VPC to use for the firewall endpoints, and any tags that are attached to the firewall AWS resource.

The status of the firewall, for example whether it's ready to filter network traffic, is provided in the corresponding FirewallStatus. You can retrieve both objects by calling DescribeFirewall.

Type: Array of SubnetMapping objects

Required: Yes

VpcId

The unique identifier of the VPC where the firewall is in use.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^vpc-[0-9a-f]+$

Required: Yes

DeleteProtection

A flag indicating whether it is possible to delete the firewall. A setting of TRUE indicates that the firewall is protected against deletion.
