Pull request overview

This PR updates the NGINXaaS documentation set to describe how to enable/disable and configure F5 WAF for NGINX for NGINXaaS for Google Cloud and NGINXaaS for AWS, and aligns AWS docs/changelog with the new (Preview) support and logging guidance.

Changes:

  • Adds new provider-specific “Enable”, “Configure”, and “Disable” F5 WAF for NGINX how-to pages for Google Cloud and AWS.
  • Updates AWS deployment-creation docs and AWS log-export docs to include WAF enablement and WAF security log setup.
  • Updates the NGINXaaS changelog and removes the outdated “WAF not supported” constraint from the AWS overview.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the NGINXaaS documentation set to describe how to enable/disable and configure F5 WAF for NGINX for NGINXaaS for Google Cloud and NGINXaaS for AWS, and aligns AWS docs/changelog with the new (Preview) support and logging guidance.

  • Adds new provider-specific “Enable”, “Configure”, and “Disable” F5 WAF for NGINX how-to pages for Google Cloud and AWS.
  • Updates AWS deployment-creation docs and AWS log-export docs to include WAF enablement and WAF security log setup.
  • Updates the NGINXaaS changelog and removes the outdated “WAF not supported” constraint from the AWS overview.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the NGINXaaS documentation set to describe how to enable/disable and configure F5 WAF for NGINX for NGINXaaS for Google Cloud and NGINXaaS for AWS, and aligns AWS docs/changelog with the new (Preview) support and logging guidance.
Changes:
  • Adds new provider-specific “Enable”, “Configure”, and “Disable” F5 WAF for NGINX how-to pages for Google Cloud and AWS.
  • Updates AWS deployment-creation docs and AWS log-export docs to include WAF enablement and WAF security log setup.
  • Updates the NGINXaaS changelog and removes the outdated “WAF not supported” constraint from the AWS overview.
