> **IMPORTANT:** This guide only applies to customers who want to deploy the Edge WAF on a Compute service and cannot access the Next-Gen WAF in the Fastly control panel or want to deploy the Edge WAF on a CDN service that meets one of the following conditions:
>
> - The service doesn't have the [`ngwaf_oob_enabled` parameter](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/next-gen-waf/setup-and-configuration/edge-deployment/edge-waf-architecture-types/#determining-your-deployment-management-method) set.
> - The service has the `ngwaf_oob_enabled` parameter disabled (`false`) and uses [mutual TLS (mTLS)](https://docs.fastly.com/products/tls-service-options#mutual-tls-authentication).
>
> If you don't meet these requirements, refer to the [Fastly control panel guide](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/next-gen-waf/setup-and-configuration/edge-deployment/edge-waf-deployment-using-the-fastly-control-panel) instead.
