AWS has considerable defenses against DDOS attacks of all types - here's the video from Reinvent 2015 which introduces many of Amazon's defenses as well as best practices - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys0gG1koqJA
Interestingly, the presenter notes that Amazon had seen a drop in DNS as an attack vector in 2015. I asked the presenter (Product Manager) why they hadn't productized the DDoS attack dashboard so you could be aware if you were being attacked (and it was being absorbed by AWS) and his response was that there was insufficient demand at that point to justify the developer staffing. He gave me his card and asked to request the feature so he could us it to make the case internally.
Does anyone here have stories of being successfully DDoS'd on AWS (other than by their own staff :) ?
Given that so many of us are now hosting on AWS, I'd like to ask the question - who has been hit with a DDOS attack / extortion letter while is hosting on AWS? It would seem that there's many old-tech companies hosting in data centers that would seem to be far more vulnerable to non-TCP attack vectors than AWS-hosted systems. Is that who is generally targeted here? Are there any stories, anecdotal or otherwise, about people getting hit with DDOS attacks while using AWS. Here's a talk by AWS on their measures against attacks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys0gG1koqJA. The only thing short of Silverline etc defense that they seem to be lacking is the reporting dashboard indicating when they've defended against DDOS attacks. So has anyone received a letter from DD4BC and other miscreants whilst hosting their domains on AWS?
