Advanced user of AWS ShieldAWS shield is a service by amazon aws which provides managed solution for protecting your particular service or application on AWS from Distributed Denial of Service attack.This attack is one of the common attack from the hacker which gives constant request to your application making it insufficient to serve the real world users and so protection from such an attack is mandatory.As it is a well known attack there are many solutions also available for the same but as you are running a aws service I prefer using AWS Shield.It has salient features like easy integration and deployment,easily scalable and above all cost efficient.So it is a mandatory security service for any aws application.
I think they should try to give more protection against other attacks also,like integrate more security measures so that we could get everything from one place itself.
I recommend using AWS shield for safeguarding your applications hosted on aws.As you might be aware of DDos and if you are not just search it on the web,it is one of the most dangerous threats that this current generations of applications might face if proper precautions are not taken.So AWS shield which provides DDos protection for your AWS applications at much lower cost is worthy of integrating into your aws application.
I use AWS shield for safe guarding my client's and my applications from the real world security threats mainly DDos.I have used AWS shield in almost all of my services that I built on aws because I think it is a mandatory service to integrate in your application for security reasons because by chance if your app is attacked by DDos than it becomes a very hasty task of recovering it.So I use AWS shield for staying on safer side.
