Are WAF WebACL and Rule Charges Covered by Shield Advanced for All Associated Resources?

0

I have a setup with a shared regional AWS WAF WebACL attached to both an Application Load Balancer (ALB) and an API Gateway. The ALB is protected by AWS Shield Advanced. Is it correct to assume that the WAF charges (for the WebACL and rules) will be covered for traffic to both the ALB and the APIGW, even though the APIGW itself isn't directly a Shield Advanced protected resource?

The per WebACL and per rule charges are indeed covered because the WAF is associated with at least one resource (the ALB in this case) that has Shield Advanced protection. However, the WAF request usage costs are only waived by Shield Advanced for requests processed by the ALB. Requests going to the API Gateway will still incur the standard WAF per-request usage fees.
