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 .

response = client.associate_drt_role(

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 .

associate_proactive_engagement_details(**kwargs)

Initializes proactive engagement and sets the list of contacts for the DDoS Response Team (DRT) to use. You must provide at least one phone number in the emergency contact list.

After you have initialized proactive engagement using this call, to disable or enable proactive engagement, use the calls DisableProactiveEngagement and EnableProactiveEngagement .

Note

This call defines the list of email addresses and phone numbers that the DDoS Response Team (DRT) can use to contact you for escalations to the DRT and to initiate proactive customer support.

The contacts that you provide in the request replace any contacts that were already defined. If you already have contacts defined and want to use them, retrieve the list using DescribeEmergencyContactSettings and then provide it to this call.

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 .

        },
    ]

Parameters
  • ProtectionGroupId (string) --

  • Aggregation (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    Defines how AWS Shield combines resource data for the group in order to detect, mitigate, and report events.

    • Sum - Use the total traffic across the group. This is a good choice for most cases. Examples include Elastic IP addresses for EC2 instances that scale manually or automatically.
    • Mean - Use the average of the traffic across the group. This is a good choice for resources that share traffic uniformly. Examples include accelerators and load balancers.
    • Max - Use the highest traffic from each resource. This is useful for resources that don't share traffic and for resources that share that traffic in a non-uniform way. Examples include CloudFront distributions and origin resources for CloudFront distributions.
  • Pattern (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The criteria to use to choose the protected resources for inclusion in the group. You can include all resources that have protections, provide a list of resource Amazon Resource Names (ARNs), or include all resources of a specified resource type.

  • ResourceType (string) -- The resource type to include in the protection group. All protected resources of this type are included in the protection group. Newly protected resources of this type are automatically added to the group. You must set this when you set Pattern to BY_RESOURCE_TYPE and you must not set it for any other Pattern setting.
  • Members (list) --

    The Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the resources to include in the protection group. You must set this when you set Pattern to ARBITRARY and you must not set it for any other Pattern setting.

    • (string) --
  • Tags (list) --

    One or more tag key-value pairs for the protection group.

    • (dict) --

      A tag associated with an AWS resource. Tags are key:value pairs that you can use to categorize and manage your resources, for purposes like billing or other management.

Or you might set the tag key to "customer" and the value to the customer name or ID. You can specify one or more tags to add to each AWS resource, up to 50 tags for a resource.

      • Key (string) --

        Part of the key:value pair that defines a tag. You can use a tag key to describe a category of information, such as "customer." Tag keys are case-sensitive.

describe_attack_statistics()

Provides information about the number and type of attacks AWS Shield has detected in the last year for all resources that belong to your account, regardless of whether you've defined Shield protections for them. This operation is available to Shield customers as well as to Shield Advanced customers.

The operation returns data for the time range of midnight UTC, one year ago, to midnight UTC, today. For example, if the current time is 2020-10-26 15:39:32 PDT , equal to 2020-10-26 22:39:32 UTC , then the time range for the attack data returned is from 2019-10-26 00:00:00 UTC to 2020-10-26 00:00:00 UTC .

The time range indicates the period covered by the attack statistics data items.

    The maximum number of AttackSummary objects to return. If you leave this blank, Shield Advanced returns the first 20 results.

    This is a maximum value. Shield Advanced might return the results in smaller batches. That is, the number of objects returned could be less than MaxResults , even if there are still more objects yet to return. If there are more objects to return, Shield Advanced returns a value in NextToken that you can use in your next request, to get the next batch of objects.
