    Enables AWS Shield Advanced for a specific AWS resource. The resource can be an Amazon CloudFront distribution, Elastic Load Balancing load balancer, AWS Global Accelerator accelerator, Elastic IP Address, or an Amazon Route 53 hosted zone.

    Example Usage

    Create protection

    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using Pulumi;
    using Aws = Pulumi.Aws;

    Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.

    Constructor syntax
