AWS automatically protects against low-level, brute-force attacks, such as DDoS, through its built-in infrastructure and network architecture. AWS infrastructure reaches across the globe and includes multiple Regions, AZs, and edge locations.
AWS Protection through infrastructure
- Security Group
- only allow in proper request traffic.
- Elastic Load Balancing
- handles traffic first before handing it off, so your frontend server is not overwhelmed.
- AWS Regions
- the enormous capacity of Regions make them extremely difficult to overwhelm.
