AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 635

A company has an AWS Business Support plan. The company needs to gain access to the AWS DDoS Response Team (DRT) to help mitigate DDoS events.

Which AWS service or resource must the company use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. AWS Shield Standard
• B. AWS Enterprise Support
• C. AWS WAF
• D. AWS Shield Advanced

Correct answer: D

Explanation

AWS Shield Advanced provides 24/7 access to the AWS DDoS Response Team (DRT) for specialized assistance during a DDoS event, which is not included in AWS Shield Standard or AWS WAF. While AWS Enterprise Support offers comprehensive support benefits, subscription to AWS Shield Advanced is specifically required to engage the DRT. AWS Shield Standard is a free, automatic service that does not grant access to this specialized team.
