AWS CodeDeploy now integrates with Elastic Load Balancing and provides greater control on managing your deployments across EC2 instances.

We are announcing today a limit increase to the number of CIDR or IP Address entries customers can have within an IPSet condition in an AWS WAF Rule. We have increased the limit from 1,000 to 10,000 entries per condition. Customers who want even larger lists of IP addresses can create multiple rules. With this limit increase customers can now import larger IP reputational lists and customer who have multiple IPSet rules can now consolidate them into fewer rules. As you know, IPSet Rules are used to specify which web requests customers want to allow or block based on the IP addresses that the requests originate from.

You can now log all your API calls to AWS WAF on Application Load Balancer (ALB) through AWS CloudTrail, the AWS service that records API calls for your account and delivers log files to your Amazon S3 bucket. CloudTrail logs can be used to enable security analysis, track changes to your AWS resources, and aid in compliance auditing. Integrating AWS WAF and CloudTrail lets you determine which requests were made to the AWS WAF API, the source IP address from which each request was made, who made the request, when it was made, and more.
