1. Using aws queue with shield

    TypeScript

    To integrate an AWS Queue with AWS Shield, you'll first need to create a Simple Queue Service (SQS) queue. AWS SQS is a highly scalable and distributed messaging queue service, and AWS Shield is a managed service that provides protection against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.

    In this context, here are the steps you would typically follow:

    1. Create an AWS SQS Queue – This acts as a message buffer, allowing components of your system to communicate by sending messages to and receiving messages from the queue.
    2. Secure the queue with AWS Shield – Shield is specifically designed to safeguard your AWS resources from DDoS attacks.

    Below I'll show you an example of how to do this using Pulumi in TypeScript.

    To get started, make sure you have Pulumi installed and configured with your AWS credentials. You should also have Node.js and NPM installed to run the Pulumi program.

    Here's how you can create an SQS queue and protect it with AWS Shield:

    import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi'; import * as aws from '@pulumi/aws'; // Create a new queue const queue = new aws.sqs.Queue("myQueue", { // Attributes for the SQS queue // Adjust the attributes according to your needs visibilityTimeoutSeconds: 30, // Visibility timeout for the queue messageRetentionSeconds: 86400, // How long to keep the messages in the queue // You can specify more config options if needed }); // Protect the queue with AWS Shield - this requires the `aws-native` package // AWS Shield Advanced provides additional protections for internet-facing resources const shieldProtection = new aws.shield.Protection("myQueueProtection", { // Use `queue.arn` as the resource ARN to protect the SQS queue resourceArn: queue.arn, }); // Export the Queue URL and ARN so that you can use them in your applications export const queueUrl = queue.url; export const queueArn = queue.arn;

    In the example above, we import the necessary Pulumi packages for AWS. We then define an SQS queue with a few properties, such as visibility timeout and message retention period.

    A protection resource is also created with AWS Shield by referencing the ARN of the SQS queue. This step is what secures the queue under AWS Shield's management, helping to protect against DDoS attacks.

    Finally, we export the queue URL and ARN so that they can be easily accessed if you need to refer to this queue in other parts of your infrastructure or application.

    Remember, this script assumes that you have AWS Shield Advanced protection already enabled in your AWS account. AWS Shield Standard is automatically included with AWS services, but for advanced protection, you will need to subscribe to the Shield Advanced service.
