How to integrate WAF with an EC2 instance?

0

I was looking into using AWS's Web Application Firewall, but it can only be used by an elastic load balancer or a CloudFront distribution. How might I go about implementing a WAF with my EC2 that is serving my website?

Not supported directly, currently needs to be behind ALB or CloudFront. Here is a tutorial that walks through protecting EC2 instances.
