These are the available methods:
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 .

Exceptions
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 .

The maximum number of ProtectionGroup 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.

Aggregation (string) --
Defines how AWS Shield combines resource data for the group in order to detect, mitigate, and report events.
Pattern (string) --
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. You must set this when you set Pattern to BY_RESOURCE_TYPE and you must not set it for any other Pattern setting.

ProtectionGroupArn (string) --
The ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the protection group.
NextToken (string) --
If you specify a value for MaxResults and you have more protection groups than the value of MaxResults, AWS Shield Advanced returns this token that you can use in your next request, to get the next batch of objects.

If you specify a value for MaxResults and you have more Protections than the value of MaxResults, AWS Shield Advanced returns a NextToken value in the response that allows you to list another group of Protections. For the second and subsequent ListProtections requests, specify the value of NextToken from the previous response to get information about another batch of Protections.
Shield Advanced might return the list of Protection objects in batches smaller than the number specified by MaxResults. If there are more Protection objects to return, Shield Advanced will always also return a NextToken .
