Client

class Shield.Client

A low-level client representing AWS Shield:

import boto3

client = boto3.client('shield')

These are the available methods:

associate_drt_log_bucket(**kwargs)

Authorizes the DDoS Response team (DRT) to access the specified Amazon S3 bucket containing your AWS WAF logs. You can associate up to 10 Amazon S3 buckets with your subscription.

To use the services of the DRT and make an AssociateDRTLogBucket request, you must be subscribed to the Business Support plan or the Enterprise Support plan .

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.associate_drt_log_bucket(
    LogBucket='string'
)
Parameters
LogBucket (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon S3 bucket that contains your AWS WAF logs.

  • Shield.Client.exceptions.AccessDeniedForDependencyException
  • Shield.Client.exceptions.OptimisticLockException
  • Shield.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException
associate_drt_role(**kwargs)

Authorizes the DDoS Response team (DRT), using the specified role, to access your AWS account to assist with DDoS attack mitigation during potential attacks. This enables the DRT to inspect your AWS WAF configuration and create or update AWS WAF rules and web ACLs.

You can associate only one RoleArn with your subscription. If you submit an AssociateDRTRole request for an account that already has an associated role, the new RoleArn will replace the existing RoleArn .

Prior to making the AssociateDRTRole request, you must attach the AWSShieldDRTAccessPolicy managed policy to the role you will specify in the request. For more information see `Attaching and Detaching IAM Policies < https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_manage-attach-detach.html>`__ . The role must also trust the service principal drt.shield.amazonaws.com . For more information, see IAM JSON Policy Elements: Principal .

The DRT will have access only to your AWS WAF and Shield resources. By submitting this request, you authorize the DRT to inspect your AWS WAF and Shield configuration and create and update AWS WAF rules and web ACLs on your behalf. The DRT takes these actions only if explicitly authorized by you.

You must have the iam:PassRole permission to make an AssociateDRTRole request. For more information, see Granting a User Permissions to Pass a Role to an AWS Service .

To use the services of the DRT and make an AssociateDRTRole request, you must be subscribed to the Business Support plan or the Enterprise Support plan .

Request Syntax

response = client.associate_drt_role(
    RoleArn='string'
)
Parameters
RoleArn (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the role the DRT will use to access your AWS account.

Prior to making the AssociateDRTRole request, you must attach the AWSShieldDRTAccessPolicy managed policy to this role. For more information see `Attaching and Detaching IAM Policies < https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_manage-attach-detach.html>`__ .

associate_health_check(**kwargs)

Adds health-based detection to the Shield Advanced protection for a resource. Shield Advanced health-based detection uses the health of your AWS resource to improve responsiveness and accuracy in attack detection and mitigation.

You define the health check in Route 53 and then associate it with your Shield Advanced protection. For more information, see Shield Advanced Health-Based Detection in the AWS WAF and AWS Shield Developer Guide .

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
create_protection(**kwargs)

Enables AWS Shield Advanced for a specific AWS resource. The resource can be an Amazon CloudFront distribution, Elastic Load Balancing load balancer, AWS Global Accelerator accelerator, Elastic IP Address, or an Amazon Route 53 hosted zone.

You can add protection to only a single resource with each CreateProtection request. If you want to add protection to multiple resources at once, use the AWS WAF console . For more information see Getting Started with AWS Shield Advanced and Add AWS Shield Advanced Protection to more AWS Resources .

    The ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the resource that was attacked. If this is left blank, all applicable resources for this account will be included.

    • (string) --
  • StartTime (dict) --

    The start of the time period for the attacks. This is a timestamp type. The sample request above indicates a number type because the default used by WAF is Unix time in seconds. However any valid timestamp format is allowed.

    • FromInclusive (datetime) --

      The start time, in Unix time in seconds. For more information see timestamp .

  • MaxResults (integer) --

    The maximum number of AttackSummary objects to be returned. If this is left blank, the first 20 results will be returned.

    This is a maximum value; it is possible that AWS WAF will return the results in smaller batches. That is, the number of AttackSummary objects returned could be less than MaxResults , even if there are still more AttackSummary objects yet to return. If there are more AttackSummary objects to return, AWS WAF will always also return a NextToken .
