AWS WAF is a web application firewall that enables you to monitor the HTTP(S) requests that are made to your protected web application resources. The inspection limit on the body defines the portion of each request payload WAF will inspect for application threats. Customers can continue to choose to allow, block, or count requests that exceed the limit they define.
AWS WAF previously had a maximum request body inspection of 8KB. For CloudFront distributions, AWS WAF will now support inspecting up to 64KB of request bodies.
