If I would do a (bandwidth) DDOS attack on a server, could it impact other people using the same infrastructure?
Impact DDOS attack

A ddos attack Would likely affect all nodes sharing that connection. It’s racially just flooding the correction with so much traffic nothing else gets through. Cad be very difficult to defend against, especially if the attack is generated from many locations

Correct, DDoS protection is a specialization in it’s own and also very expensive. In your example, every node that uses the connection will feel the bandwidth being used by the DDoS. Same for all the workloads on the node that is receiving the DDoS.
