Enterprise Multi-Cloud WAF Evaluation with Terraform

I recently built an enterprise-style project comparing AWS WAF and Google Cloud Armor using Terraform.

The project provisions equivalent architectures across AWS and Google Cloud, validates security controls, and documents the engineering decisions behind each implementation.

Comparing AWS WAF against Cloud Armor properly means pricing both the rule evaluation cost and the false positive tuning time, since a WAF needing constant rule adjustment costs more in engineering hours than the sticker price gap between the two. Worth including that operational cost in any enterprise evaluation, not just per-request pricing
