With Yandex Smart Web Security, you can protect your infrastructure against DDoS attacks and bots at the application layer (L7).
You will create a test web server, deploy an L7 Application Load Balancer for distributing traffic to the test web server, and protect this new infrastructure using a security profile in Smart Web Security.
Use the following tools to create an infrastructure for your L7 Application Load Balancer with a security profile:
- Management console: Use the Yandex Cloud management console to create your infrastructure step by step.
- Terraform: Streamline creating and managing your resources using the infrastructure-as-code (IaC) approach. Download a Terraform configuration example and deploy your infrastructure using the Yandex Cloud Terraform provider
