Protecting Google Cloud VPC Resources with Cloud Armor
Cloud Armor is a full-featured service capable of blocking malicious distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks at its source, along with many other use case scenarios. In this lab, you will use a pre-created script to create a load balanced application. You will then attack your application with a flood of traffic and use Cloud Armor to block the malicious traffic, enabling proper operation of your website.
