AWS ALB does routing based on content this means many common DDoS attacks like SYN floods and UDP reflection will be blocked.
On other hand, AWS NLB does not absorb any traffic hence my backend EC2s are open for any DDoS
So should I pay for AWS Shield Advanced?
Answer
When you're looking at that sort of monthly spend (US$3K per month) you should have an AWS sales / technical person advising you.
Based on EIPs only being part of Shield Advanced, you probably won't get DDOS protection without the advanced product. However, you can get DDOS protection MUCH more cheaply from providers like CloudFlare.
