Associating resources with a

SNS

Resources do not "belong" to a

SNS

Rather, one or more Security Groups are associated to a resource.

Create

SNS

via Terraform:

The following HCL creates a SNS with delivery policy

Syntax:

resource "aws_sns_topic" "user_updates" {
name = "user-updates-topic"
delivery_policy = <<EOF
{
"http": {
"defaultHealthyRetryPolicy": {
"minDelayTarget": 20,
"maxDelayTarget": 20,
"numRetries": 3,
"numMaxDelayRetries": 0,
"numNoDelayRetries": 0,
"numMinDelayRetries": 0,
"backoffFunction": "linear"
},
"disableSubscriptionOverrides": false,
"defaultThrottlePolicy": {
"maxReceivesPerSecond": 1
}
}
}
EOF
}

Costs

The cost of using Simple Notification Service (SNS) depends on the number of messages published, delivered, and the number of HTTP/S and email subscriptions. SNS charges for each million messages delivered, as well as for data transfer and any additional SMS messages sent.
