2021/12/01 - AWS Shield - 3 new 2 updated api methods
Changes This release adds API support for Automatic Application Layer DDoS Mitigation for AWS Shield Advanced. Customers can now enable automatic DDoS mitigation in count or block mode for layer 7 protected resources.
Enable the Shield Advanced automatic application layer DDoS mitigation for the resource.
Note
This feature is available for Amazon CloudFront distributions only.
This causes Shield Advanced to create, verify, and apply WAF rules for DDoS attacks that it detects for the resource. Shield Advanced applies the rules in a Shield rule group inside the web ACL that you've associated with the resource. For information about how automatic mitigation works and the requirements for using it, see Shield Advanced automatic application layer DDoS mitigation .
Don't use this action to make changes to automatic mitigation settings when it's already enabled for a resource. Instead, use UpdateApplicationLayerAutomaticResponse .
To use this feature, you must associate a web ACL with the protected resource. The web ACL must be created using the latest version of WAF (v2). You can associate the web ACL through the Shield Advanced console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/wafv2/shieldv2#/ . For more information, see Getting Started with Shield Advanced .
You can also do this through the WAF console or the WAF API, but you must manage Shield Advanced automatic mitigation through Shield Advanced. For information about WAF, see WAF Developer Guide .

Request Syntax
client.list_protections(
NextToken='string',
MaxResults=123
)
string
When you request a list of objects from Shield Advanced, if the response does not include all of the remaining available objects, Shield Advanced includes a NextToken value in the response. You can retrieve the next batch of objects by requesting the list again and providing the token that was returned by the prior call in your request.
You can indicate the maximum number of objects that you want Shield Advanced to return for a single call with the MaxResults setting. Shield Advanced will not return more than MaxResults objects, but may return fewer, even if more objects are still available.
Whenever more objects remain that Shield Advanced has not yet returned to you, the response will include a NextToken value.
On your first call to a list operation, leave this setting empty.
integer
The greatest number of objects that you want Shield Advanced to return to the list request. Shield Advanced might return fewer objects than you indicate in this setting, even if more objects are available. If there are more objects remaining, Shield Advanced will always also return a NextToken value in the response.
The default setting is 20.
