Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is a web service that coordinates and manages the delivery or sending of messages to subscribing endpoints or clients.

In Amazon SNS, there are two types of clients:

  • Publishers, also called producers, communicate asynchronously with subscribers by producing and sending a message to a topic, which is a logical access point and communication channel.
  • Subscribers, also called consumers, consume or receive the message or notification over one of the supported protocols when they are subscribed to the topic. Subscribers include web servers, email addresses, Amazon SQS queues, AWS Lambda functions. Supported protocols include Amazon SQS, HTTP/S, email, SMS, Lambda.

Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.
