A company runs a global ecommerce website that is hosted on AWS.

AWS WAF Geo Match Condition:

Use AWS WAF to create a web access control list (web ACL).

Add a geo match condition to block traffic originating from the specified countries.

Associate Web ACL with CloudFront:

Attach the web ACL to the CloudFront distribution.

Requests from blocked countries will be denied at the CloudFront edge locations, ensuring compliance with data regulation policies.

Advantages of Using AWS WAF:

Cost-effective: Only pay for WAF rules, which are more economical than alternative solutions.

Scalable: Automatically handles global traffic without additional configuration.

Alternative Options:

Using CloudFront's geo-restriction feature (Option C) is also possible but lacks the flexibility and granularity of WAF rules.
