Lightsail wordpress image under attack... help.......
Lightsail wordpress image under attack... help........... I am new to AWS so for one of my learning sessions I moved 10 wordpress sites from Godaddy to AWS Lightsail Wordpress Instances... Within 24 hours I seen my /wp-admin/ under attack.. some of the sites or about 4 years old and never had one attack now I dont know why but its under attack.. 100s of IP address are trying to login each night to the /wp-admin/
Can someone please help me on how I can address this fast? I have a plugin that is blocking them one at a time but its it anything I can do on a AWS side?

Regrettably, Lightsail does not support AWS WAF. However, you could create a Cloudfront distribution per WordPress site, attach AWS WAF to each distribution, and point the origin in Cloudfront to the Lightsail ALB. You'd need to adjust your DNS as well. This is far from the ideal, of course.

Do you know any good videos in it? I am so new to this.
Not sure about videos, but the documentation is probably going to be one of the better sources I think: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/distribution-create-delete.html
You can also engage professionals on AWS IQ or various other consultants if you just need some assistance getting started.
