-A DDoS attack is when multiple systems intentionally flood your resources, which can render your content origin unavailable or hidden to your viewers. It is important to use a DDoS protection tool, such as AWS Shield, to protect your resources. AWS Shield protects AWS resources such as **Amazon CloudFront** distributions and **Amazon Route 53** so that your content can be located and reached globally. **AWS Shield Advanced** protects resources built upon services such as **Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon EC2** , and **AWS Global Accelerator** against common and most frequently occurring infrastructure (layer 3 and 4) attacks like SYN/UDP floods, reflection attacks, and others to support high availability of your applications on AWS. If you need to protect resources that you are hosting privately, put a CDN, such as a CloudFront distribution, in front of it.
