AWS Shield Description

AWS Shield is a comprehensive managed service designed to protect applications hosted on AWS from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. This service features continuous detection and automatic inline mitigation capabilities that significantly reduce both application downtime and latency, making it unnecessary to contact AWS Support for DDoS defense. AWS Shield is available in two levels: Standard and Advanced. Every AWS customer automatically benefits from the protective features of AWS Shield Standard at no extra cost. This tier offers robust defense against the most prevalent network and transport layer DDoS threats targeting websites and applications. Furthermore, when AWS Shield Standard is used in conjunction with Amazon CloudFront and Amazon Route 53, users gain extensive protection against all known infrastructure attacks at Layers 3 and 4, ensuring optimal availability and performance. By leveraging these services, organizations can enhance their resilience against malicious traffic while maintaining a seamless user experience.
