ACL Rules, Antivirus, and an Honest Account of What Huawei Will Not Let You Order

Address groups and ACL rules on a Cloud Firewall protected object, with antivirus turned on since it is a separate resource and a complete rule set says nothing about it. Huawei takes a placement rather than a position, so order is not determined by the file: place_at_top pins the one rule that matters and the module says plainly that the rest must not overlap.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.

The same job on other clouds

Managed Network Firewall on other providers. Useful when the cloud is still open, or when you are pricing a second one. How far a comparison like that can be trusted is covered in comparing clouds.
