Describe how you would use AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, and Amazon EventBridge to automate the response to a security alert indicating a potential DDoS attack. Include the sequence of events and the actions each service would perform.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Amazon EventBridge would be configured to detect the security alert. It would then trigger an AWS Lambda function to analyze the incoming traffic for signs of a DDoS attack. AWS Step Functions would be used to orchestrate the sequence of mitigation strategies, such as scaling resources or blocking malicious IPs, ensuring a coordinated and automated response.
