Which of the following helps in DDoS protection. Choose 2 answers from the options given below
A
Cloudfront
B
AWS Shield
C
AWS EC2
D
AWS Config
Explanation:
AWS Shield and CloudFront help in DDoS protection:
AWS Shield: AWS's managed DDoS protection service that provides always-on detection and automatic inline mitigations
CloudFront: Content Delivery Network (CDN) that helps minimize attack surface by placing resources behind a distributed network, limiting direct internet traffic to infrastructure
Why not the others:
AWS EC2: Virtual servers that can be targets of DDoS attacks, not protection services
AWS Config: Service for resource configuration tracking and compliance, not DDoS protection
As mentioned in AWS documentation, minimizing attack surface through CDNs (like CloudFront) and using DDoS protection services (like AWS Shield) are key techniques for DDoS mitigation.
