Explanation
AWS Shield Advanced is the correct solution because:
- DDoS Protection: AWS Shield Advanced provides enhanced DDoS protection for applications running on AWS
- Service Credits: It offers service credits for DDoS-related usage spikes, which is specifically mentioned in the requirement
- Additional Features: Includes 24/7 access to the AWS DDoS Response Team (DRT), cost protection for scaling during attacks, and advanced threat intelligence
Why not the other options:
- Amazon GuardDuty: A threat detection service that monitors for malicious activity and unauthorized behavior, but does not provide DDoS protection or service credits
- AWS Shield Standard: Provides automatic DDoS protection at no additional cost, but does not include service credits for increased utilization during attacks
- AWS WAF: A web application firewall that protects against common web exploits, but does not provide comprehensive DDoS protection or service credits
AWS Shield Advanced is specifically designed for organizations that need enhanced DDoS protection with financial protection through service credits when attacks cause increased resource utilization.
