Hi,
Is it possible to write the rules on WAF to prevent from DDoS attacks? If yes, Please share any script or documentation for the same.
Azure DDoS Protection is a separate service offered by Azure. Azure WAF for Azure Front Door does have additional DDoS Protection capabilities, primarily using rate limits to only allow a specified amount of requests to your backend application. You can find an example Here.
Thanks you. But I am talking about Application level DDos protection. is it possible?

Hi,
Usually, DDos is Layer/Layer 4 protection. You can write a custom rule to block the requests if it more than 20 requests in a minute time or similar rules. Check few examples here -- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/web-application-firewall/ag/create-custom-waf-rules
