When you tune your WAF for your application workload, you typically create a set of rule exclusions to reduce false positive detections. If you manually configure these exclusions by using the Azure portal, then when you upgrade your WAF to use a newer ruleset version, you need to reconfigure the same exceptions against the new ruleset version. This process can be time-consuming and error-prone.
