AWS Shield
AWS Shield handles DDoS protection, keeping your infrastructure safe from volumetric attacks. It’s a straightforward security layer that absorbs malicious traffic before it hits your resources. You don’t get granular control over the mitigation itself, but you get reliable coverage against common network-level threats.
This fits teams needing basic, managed defense without operational overhead. There is no free tier, so expect to pay for usage. Since pricing requires contacting sales, budgeting can be tricky for smaller projects. It’s a solid choice if you want AWS to handle the heavy lifting for network security.
