AWS Shield primarily protects resources within the AWS ecosystem. It doesn't offer protection for your public-facing website outside of AWS. Furthermore, it requires configuration and ongoing monitoring to ensure optimal performance. It's also less effective against attacks that are specifically designed to bypass AWS's mitigation techniques.
