How to Create an SNS Topic for Email Alerts?

SNS Topic

Condition for Create an SNS Topic for Email Alerts

  • Description:
    This task involves configuring an alerting mechanism that delivers notifications through email.The process begins by accessing the notification service in the cloud console.A new entity is created to act as the broadcast point for alerts.Once this entity is established, an email endpoint is added as a recipient. Before notifications can be delivered, the receiving address must approve the request.A confirmation message is automatically sent to the specified mailbox.Upon approval, the email destination becomes active, allowing future alerts to be delivered automatically.This workflow ensures that alert messages can be distributed reliably to chosen recipients, enabling effective monitoring and timely awareness of system events.
