What is AWS SNS used for?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 5:37 pm

AWS SNS is a messaging service that allows you to send and receive messages between EC2 instances and applications running on Amazon EC2. You can use AWS SNS to send messages to announce and report the status of your applications, to manage customer relationships, and to send notifications about events such as application failures or new product releases.

PRO TIP: AWS SNS is a message queue service that can be used for a variety of purposes, including sending messages between microservices, distributing notifications to end users, and processing analytics data. While it is a powerful and flexible tool, it is important to be aware of the potential risks associated with using it. In particular, AWS SNS messages are not encrypted by default, which means that they could be intercepted and read by unauthorized individuals. Additionally, because AWS SNS uses HTTP/HTTPS as its transport protocol, it is possible for attackers to impersonate AWS SNS servers in order to inject malicious content into messages.

You can also use AWS SNS to send messages to groUPS of EC2 instances.

AWS SNS is a convenient way to manage communication between your applications and EC2 instances. You can use AWS SNS to send messages to announce the status of your applications, to manage customer relationships, and to send notifications about events such as application failures or new product releases.
