40% of the internet’s traffic now is bots, with about half of those being malicious. Fail2ban is decent for a very small DDoS, but useless for one with any substance, and also useless against bots scraping data or probing for weaknesses.
Also remember, especially on AWS, bandwidth is expensive. A CDN cache + blocking bots = big savings.
