This article announces that AWS WAF now supports URI path as an aggregation key for rate-based rules, simplifying request rate management.

• Track request rates for any URI path without scope down statements
• Apply rule actions like Block or Captcha based on request thresholds
• Protect multiple URI paths with a single rule
• Refine rules using match conditions and additional aggregation keys
• No additional cost; standard AWS WAF charges apply
• Available in most AWS regions; GovCloud and select regions coming later

This feature enhances AWS WAF's flexibility for rate limiting across multiple URI paths with simplified configuration.
