Options¶

--protection-id (string)

The unique identifier (ID) for the Protection object to describe. You must provide either the ResourceArn of the protected resource or the ProtectionID of the protection, but not both.

--resource-arn (string)

The ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the protected Amazon Web Services resource. You must provide either the ResourceArn of the protected resource or the ProtectionID of the protection, but not both.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

base64
raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To retrieve the details for an AWS Shield Advanced protection

The following describe-protection example displays details about the Shield Advanced protection with the specified ID. You can obtain protection IDs by running the list-protections command.

aws shield describe-protection \
    --protection-id a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111

Output:

{
    "Protection": {
        "Id": "a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111",
        "Name": "1.2.3.4",
        "ResourceArn": "arn:aws:ec2:us-west-2:123456789012:eip-allocation/eipalloc-0ac1537af40742a6d"
    }
}

For more information, see Specify Your Resources to Protect in the AWS Shield Advanced Developer Guide.

Output¶

Protection -> (structure)

The Protection that you requested.

Id -> (string)

The unique identifier (ID) of the protection.

Name -> (string)

The name of the protection. For example, My CloudFront distributions .

ResourceArn -> (string)

The ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the Amazon Web Services resource that is protected.

HealthCheckIds -> (list)

The unique identifier (ID) for the Route 53 health check that’s associated with the protection.

(string)

ProtectionArn -> (string)

The ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the protection.

ApplicationLayerAutomaticResponseConfiguration -> (structure)

The automatic application layer DDoS mitigation settings for the protection. This configuration determines whether Shield Advanced automatically manages rules in the web ACL in order to respond to application layer events that Shield Advanced determines to be DDoS attacks.

Status -> (string)

Indicates whether automatic application layer DDoS mitigation is enabled for the protection.

Action -> (structure)

Specifies the action setting that Shield Advanced should use in the WAF rules that it creates on behalf of the protected resource in response to DDoS attacks. You specify this as part of the configuration for the automatic application layer DDoS mitigation feature, when you enable or update automatic mitigation. Shield Advanced creates the WAF rules in a Shield Advanced-managed rule group, inside the web ACL that you have associated with the resource.

Block -> (structure)

Specifies that Shield Advanced should configure its WAF rules with the WAF Block action.

You must specify exactly one action, either Block or Count .

Count -> (structure)

Specifies that Shield Advanced should configure its WAF rules with the WAF Count action.

You must specify exactly one action, either Block or Count .
