Special Service Guide Update for August 28, 2024

Today, Fastly begins offering the ability to configure some of the features of the Fastly Next-Gen WAF from directly within the Fastly control panel. To use the new controls, you must purchase the Next-Gen WAF Security Starter Package and have a Fastly account. The original Next-Gen WAF control panel continues to remain available for existing Next-Gen WAF customers.

The Security controls web interface guides describe where these controls appear in the Fastly control panel. Likewise, we've added instructions to our guides that describe how to use the Fastly Next-Gen WAF with details on how to configure the new Next-Gen WAF starter package features.

For more details about the Next-Gen WAF, including how to purchase it, contact your account manager or email sales@fastly.com.

In conjunction with regular and significant changelog updates, we also make available PDF content snapshots of docs.fastly.com at specific, regular points in time as part of our Documentation Archives where we also house current and prior versions of our legal terms, statements, and policies.

Fastly's documentation is formally presented in the English language at docs.fastly.com. Where applicable, translations of that content typically appear within one month of the publication of the English version. Translations are provided as a convenience only and are not archived.
