What is the purpose of AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall)?

To protect web applications from common web exploits
To store and manage objects
To create and manage virtual networks
To manage user access and permissions

The correct answer is: To protect web applications from common web exploits

AWS WAF is a service used to protect web applications from common web exploits such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and more. It filters out malicious traffic and allows you to set rules to block or allow certain types of requests. Option B, storing and managing objects, is not related to the purpose of AWS WAF. Option C, creating and managing virtual networks, is the purpose of AWS VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) and not AWS WAF. Option D, managing user access and permissions, is the function of AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management) and not AWS WAF.
