Finally. The basic offer is something a lot of other providers already have. Not sure about the advanced one. Sounds quite expensive. $3,000/month plus extra traffic costs. And I don't understand which traffic they bill. Usually AWS bills outgoing traffic, but for DDOS costs only occur ingress, or am I wrong? Can't see from the price list what they'll actually bill (ingress or egress).

Pricing Example 4: AWS Shield Advanced For Amazon CloudFront Let’s assume that you deploy an Amazon CloudFront Distribution in front of the Application Load Balancer from Example 3. You then enable AWS Shield Advanced protection for your Amazon CloudFront Distribution, and remove it from your Application Load Balancer. (If you have deployed Amazon CloudFront in front of Application Load Balancer, you only need to enable protection for Amazon CloudFront). Under this scenario, at the end of the month, you will pay the AWS Shield Advanced monthly fee of $3,000. In addition to the monthly fee, you will be charged the AWS Shield Advanced usage based fee of $25 for the 1,000 GB of Regional Data Transfer out at $0.025 per GB. Your total AWS Shield charges for the month will be $3,000 + $25 = $3,025. In addition, you will pay standard Application Load Balancer and Amazon CloudFront fees as described in the Application Load Balancer Pricing and Amazon CloudFront Pricing pages.

It's clear to heavy AWS users that Amazon was already providing certain DDoS protections before this announcement.

  Was more thinking of ovh, in the recent attack the admin interface and network weren't affected as it seems.

That's $2000/month cheaper than Cloudflare Enterprise. I imagine they have the same target customer?

  This seems to be only for people on AWS, which is why Amazon can charge less for it: they're already making a profit on you elsewhere. For people who host their own servers or systems (or who cloud but not on AWS), this doesn't appear to be an option and you still have to go with Cloudflare.

  Do you have a source for the $5000 number? Heard it's more around 3k. But guess it's on an individual basis. And at Amazon that's just the ddos costs, the cdn and traffic cost extra.
