Creates an Network Firewall Firewall and accompanying FirewallStatus for a VPC.

The firewall defines the configuration settings for an Network Firewall firewall. The settings that you can define at creation include the firewall policy, the subnets in your VPC to use for the firewall endpoints, and any tags that are attached to the firewall Amazon Web Services resource.

After you create a firewall, you can provide additional settings, like the logging configuration.

To update the settings for a firewall, you use the operations that apply to the settings themselves, for example UpdateLoggingConfiguration, AssociateSubnets, and UpdateFirewallDeleteProtection.

To manage a firewall's tags, use the standard Amazon Web Services resource tagging operations, ListTagsForResource, TagResource, and UntagResource.

To retrieve information about firewalls, use ListFirewalls and DescribeFirewall.
