A low-level client representing AWS Shield:
import boto3
client = boto3.client('shield')
These are the available methods:
Authorizes the DDoS Response team (DRT) to access the specified Amazon S3 bucket containing your flow 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'
)
[REQUIRED]
The Amazon S3 bucket that contains your flow logs.
{}
Response Structure
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(

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 .

As part of this request you can specify EmergencySettings that automaticaly grant the DDoS response team (DRT) needed permissions to assist you during a suspected DDoS attack. For more information see Authorize the DDoS Response Team to Create Rules and Web ACLs on Your Behalf .
When you initally create a subscription, your subscription is set to be automatically renewed at the end of the existing subscription period. You can change this by submitting an UpdateSubscription request.
