createProtection

Enables Shield Advanced for a specific Amazon Web Services resource. The resource can be an Amazon CloudFront distribution, Amazon Route 53 hosted zone, Global Accelerator standard accelerator, Elastic IP Address, Application Load Balancer, or a Classic Load Balancer. You can protect Amazon EC2 instances and Network Load Balancers by association with protected Amazon EC2 Elastic IP addresses.

You can add protection to only a single resource with each CreateProtection request. You can add protection to multiple resources at once through the Shield Advanced console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/wafv2/shieldv2#/.
