# Overview

Our AI Edge service is built on Envoy and provides an intelligent HTTPProxy along with a Coraza-based Web Application Firewall (WAF).

AI Edges help you protect and route internet traffic to your backend services. We support HTTP(S) 1.1, HTTP2, gRPC, and WebSockets.

## Features

Each AI Edge is deployed with a default hostname and HTTPS is enforced (this can be removed).

* **Protection** - Protection is provided by the [**OWASP Coraza Web Application Firewall (WAF)**](https://www.coraza.io/)**.** By default, Protection is in "observe" mode and can be set to enforced status. If enforced, you can select either Level 1 (relaxed) or Level 2 (balanced).
* **Custom Hostnames** – Verify domains (or use already verified domain resources) to use custom hostnames with an AI Edge.
* **Basic Authentication** - Add a username and password to restrict access to an AI Edge.

Creature comforts to understand the health of your AI Edges include:

* **Status** – View status “Accepted” and “Programmed”, Generated hostname(s), Custom hostname verification status, and TLS verification status.
* **Metrics** - In the portal we provide a variety of baseline metrics, filtered by region, including: global upstream latency percentile, regional upstream RPS,  and regional upstream response.
* **Activity Logs** - View and filter activity across a project, and filter by resource type (including AI Edge) and action.
