FirewallRuleGroup - AWS Network Firewall

FirewallRuleGroup

The object that defines a firewall engine rule group, for use in a Next Generation policy. A firewall engine rule group provides access-control rules that the firewall engine evaluates at connection-state hooks. You provide the rules as a Suricata-compatible rule string, as structured firewall rules, or generated from a list of domain names. For more information, see Rule groups for a firewall using a Next Generation policy in the AWS Network Firewall Developer Guide.
