In this article, I'll show you how to use Alibaba Cloud's Anti-DDoS Premium to protect your critical assets against DDoS attacks. I'll also show you how to accelerate access for Mainland China users to your application hosted outside Mainland China, such as Singapore and China(Hong Kong), with the new Mainland China Acceleration (MCA) service.
Access the Anti-DDoS Premium console, purchase the Anti-DDoS Premium service together with the Mainland China Acceleration instance (you may contact Alibaba Cloud to assist you).
Next we will configure the MCA, so that for China Mainland users will use the MCA first, and fail-over to Anti-DDoS IP if MCA is under attack.
Switch to the Security Traffic Manager tab and click Add Rule. Add the MCA rule in which the MCA IP has a high priority and the Anti-DDoS IP is low Priority.
The Security Traffic Manager will generate a CNAME record, which is responsible for the traffic fail-over between the MCA IP and then Anti-DDoS Premium IP address if necessary.
Now we will configure the DNS service, so the user will be able to resolve demo.alibabacloudhk.com to MCA and Anti-DDoS Premium. Go to the Alibaba Cloud DNS service console. Under Domains, click on your domain name and Add Record.

I will be combining several Alibaba Cloud products, including Anti-DDoS Premium, Domain Name Service (DNS), and Object Storage Service (OSS).
The following will be a step-by-step explanation about how to configure the whole setup in under 30 minutes.
DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) uses a large number of valid requests to consume lots of network resources and make services unresponsive and unavailable to legitimate users. Currently, DDoS attack is one of the most powerful cyber-attacks that are hard to defend against.
DDoS has been around the cybersecurity world for a long time and is an old attack method. DDoS prevention has also undergone different stages.
You can add configurations for your domains (Layer 7) and ports (Layer 4) in Anti-DDoS Premium for DDoS protection.
After purchasing an Anti-DDoS Premium instance, you can add configurations in the console to add forwarding rules of domains and ports to specify the origin servers where clean traffic is forwarded to after DDoS attack mitigation.
Distributed Denial of Service Attack (DDoS Attack) is a malicious cyber-attack on a target system. It usually makes the victim’s services unable to be normally accessed, i.e., the denial of service.
In this article, you will get some information of the best practices on how to anti ddos attacks.
Anti-DDoS Pro is a value-added service used to protect servers, including external servers hosted in Mainland China, against volumetric DDoS attacks. You can redirect attack traffic to Anti-DDoS Pro to ensure the stability and availability of origin sites.
Alibaba Cloud Anti-DDoS Premium is a value-added DDoS protection service. This service is used to protect servers against volumetric DDoS attacks and ensure the availability of business. By modifiying DNS records to redirect malicious traffic through Anti-DDoS Premium’s dedicated IP address, Anti-DDoS Premium, protects your online presence.
