AWS Network Firewall adds wildcard support for container attribute filters

AWS Network Firewall now supports wildcard matching in container attribute-based inspection filters for Amazon EKS and Amazon ECS.

• Define attribute filters using wildcard patterns to match multiple container workloads in a single rule
• Use patterns like app=payments-* to cover all application variants automatically
• Eliminates need to create individual container associations for each variant
• Simplifies firewall rule management for dynamic container environments
• Reduces operational overhead and ensures consistent security coverage
• Available in all AWS Regions supporting container attribute-based inspection

Wildcard support streamlines security policy management for containerized workloads by enabling flexible pattern-based filtering.
