Firewall configuration

The following firewall configuration was used in the sample deployment
In AWS the following components are required to programmatically create the firewall infrastructure:
AWS Network Firewall - This represents the firewall that is deployed in AWS and is associated with a VPC. The firewall can be deployed in various models depending on the requirements. In this sample deployment, the firewall is deployed in a public subnet to inspect all ingress and egress traffic
Firewall Policy - The policy is assigned to a firewall and contains the desired rules and behavior of the firewall. Rules are created as part of the rule groups.
Firewall Rule Groups - Firewall rules are either stateless or stateful. Once the rule grops are created, they are associated with a policy. Details of the rules are beyond the scope of this document.
