Getting Started with Amazon SNS – Hands-on Guide

Amazon SNS (Simple Notification Service) is a fully managed messaging service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that enables you to send messages or notifications to multiple recipients or subscribers. With SNS, you can send messages to a variety of endpoint types such as email, SMS, mobile push notifications, HTTP, and more. It allows you to decouple your applications and enable them to exchange messages in a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective way. You can use SNS to send messages to a single subscriber, a group of subscribers, or broadcast to all subscribers across multiple AWS accounts and regions. SNS supports multiple messaging protocols and integrates with other AWS services like Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) and AWS Lambda to enable a variety of use cases.

Step 1:

Log in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the SNS console.
