AWS Shield Advanced though...so what does this mean if you are on Standard? One of the biggest fears is launching an EC2 instance (or some other service) only to get hit at some random point in time with a DDoS attack and a large bill at the end of the month. I've read stories of AWS forgiving events like this, but are you now up a creek if you don't subscribe to their "Advanced" tier?
