1. Do "PHL, FRE, and AMS" mean something? Or are these just codenames for each site?
2. If I host a service on AWS, Azure, Linode, DigitalOcean am I also susceptible to layer 3 DDoS?
- emersion 3y ago1. PHL means Philadelphia, AMS means Amsterdam. Yes, just codenames for sites. 2. Depends if DDoS protection is part of the offer, I suppose.
- cr3ative 3y agoThey're generally airport codes, so Philadelphia and Amsterdam... unsure about FRE.
- Y_Y 3y agoThe IATA code FRE is assigned to Fera in the Solomon Islands. Freemont Airport does not have an IATA code.
- fmajid 3y agoNaming conventions can be inconsistent, and not every datacenter location has an airport. ASD is often used instead of AMS for Amsterdam.
- Y_Y 3y agoASD is the IATA code assigned to Andros Town Airport, in the Bahamas. It might also be a commonly used abbreviation for a medical condition.
- gslin 3y agoTheir topology page has information about PHL/AMS and FRE (seems like Fremont datacenter): https://web.archive.org/web/20240111132224/https://man.sr.ht/ops/topology.md https://web.archive.org/web/20240111132224/https://man.sr.ht...

- lftl 3y agoLinode went through a rather long DDoS attack a few years back with a few of their data enters being offline for a few days, so I would guess yes there.
- grudg3 3y agoTo answer your 2nd question, yes you can be DDoSd, Azure specifically offers a DDoS protection plan which is quite expensive. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ddos-protection/ddos-protection-overview https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ddos-protection/ddos...
