AWS Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty (ANS-C00) — Question 298

What are three services that help mitigate a DDoS? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. AWS Shield
• B. DynamoDB
• C. Elastic Beanstalk
• D. CloudFront

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

AWS Shield is a dedicated, managed Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection service that safeguards applications running on AWS. Amazon CloudFront helps mitigate attacks by caching content globally and integrating with AWS Shield and AWS WAF at the network edge to block malicious traffic. Amazon DynamoDB and AWS Elastic Beanstalk are database and deployment services, respectively, and do not natively provide DDoS mitigation.
