[AWS] What should I do if the resource associated with Web ACL is automatically disconnected?

If AWS resource is an Application Load Balancer(ALB) using the AWS Load Balancer Controller in Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service(EKS), a web ACL and Application Load Balancer(ALB) association in the AWS WAF console could be automatically disconnected in case of modifying and deploying Amazon EKS Cluster when you connect a Web ACL and AWS resources.

If Amazon EKS Cluster is used, the problem can be solved by adding a web ACL ARN annotation and connecting a Web ACL and AWS resource to ALB Ingress created in Amazon EKS Cluster.

Choose the below one of the two methods for adding a web ACL ARN annotation to ALB Ingress.

[Advance Preparation] Copy a web ACL ARN for applying WMS to add ALB Ingress

Copy Method: AWS WAF Console -> Web ACLs tab -> Check Web ACL to associate resource -> Click Copy ARN in the top right corner

[Setup Method 1] Modify and Deploy after declaring to yaml file.

1) Input additional "alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/wafv2-acl-arn: {Associating Web ACL ARN}" in metadata -> annotations field declaration of ingress object’s declaration section in yaml file of connecting EKS Cluster

2) Update (kubectl apply -f "File Name")

3) Check the registration status of EKS Cluster ALB in a Web ACL resource

[Setup Method 2] Use kubectl edit command in CLI.

1) Modify ingress object resource with configured aws alb controller using kubectl: kubectl edit ingress/[Name] -n[NameSpace]

2) Input additional "alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/wafv2-acl-arn: {Associating Web ACL ARN}" in metadata -> annotations field declaration and save.

3) Check the registration status of EKS Cluster ALB in a Web ACL resource
