Question #1359
A company is using AWS WAF and has an AWS Business Support plan. They want to ensure they can contact the AWS DDoS Response Team (DRT) during a DDoS attack.
Which AWS service or resource must they additionally use to meet this requirement?
AWS Shield Standard
AWS Enterprise Support
AWS Firewall Manager
AWS Shield Advanced
Explanation
The correct answer is D. AWS Shield Advanced. Here's why:
- AWS Shield Advanced includes 24/7 access to the AWS DDoS Response Team (DRT) during an attack, along with advanced DDoS mitigation capabilities. This is a core feature of Shield Advanced, which is not available in Shield Standard.
- AWS Shield Standard (A) is automatically included with AWS services but does not provide DRT access.
- AWS Enterprise Support (B) offers premium support features but does not grant DRT access unless combined with Shield Advanced.
- AWS Firewall Manager (C) is a management tool for WAF rules and does not relate to DDoS response services.
Key Takeaway: To access the DRT during a DDoS attack, Shield Advanced is mandatory, regardless of the AWS Support plan tier.
