[Notice] Notice: WAF Self-Service Upgrade Tool Now Available
Dear Alibaba Cloud user:
Web Application Firewall (WAF) will release a self-service upgrade tool in April 2023. You can use this tool to upgrade your WAF 2.0 instances to WAF 3.0 if they meet the following conditions.
Instances that use transparent proxy mode for Application Load Balancer (ALB) cannot be directly upgraded. If you have such instances, disable traffic redirection, delete the domain name configuration, and then perform a self-service upgrade. For more information, see the FAQ section below.
Alibaba Cloud synchronizes cloud product assets daily from 00:00 to 03:00. Avoid upgrading instances that use transparent proxy mode during this window.
The instance edition is a subscription Pro, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition, a Hybrid Cloud WAF Exclusive edition, or a pay-as-you-go edition.
The instance does not use the data visualization service or have custom features enabled.
The instance will not expire within 15 days, and your account has no overdue payments.
The upgrade operation requires full WAF permissions (AliyunYundunWAFFullAccess).
We are rolling out the self-service upgrade tool in phases using grayscale deployment.
-
If your Web Application Firewall console displays a WAF3.0 Upgrade Portal button at the bottom of the left navigation pane, you can upgrade immediately.
-
If the WAF3.0 Upgrade Portal button does not appear and you need to upgrade urgently, go to the WAF 3.0 Self-Service Upgrade Entry Request Page, submit a request, then upgrade.
