+**Customers can explore using native[AWS WAF  ](https://console.aws.amazon.com/wafv2/) capabilities including [AWS Managed Rules](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/aws-managed-rule-groups.html), native rate-based rules, and the AWS WAF Console for intuitive configuration and management. These native capabilities provide superior functionality, better performance, real-time updates, and enhanced security features compared to the solution. **

+**Customers running solution versions prior to v3.0.0 (which deployed AWS WAF Classic) should first migrate to AWS WAF v2 using the[AWS WAF migration documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/waf-migrating-from-classic.html). Customers on v3.0.0 or later are already on AWS WAF v2 and can directly adopt native managed rules and console-based management. **
