SNS Topic

Add an SNS Topic resource to your Altostra project

The SNS Topic resource creates a SNS Topic.
To add an SNS Topic resource in the designer, go to the "Application Integration" section and select the "SNS Topic" resource, or search "sns" in the search box:

SNS Topic properties

Name:

type: string | required

• Altostra will use Name property for generating a logical ID:
  • Only strict alpha-numeric characters will be used (by the restrictions of CFN)
  • If non alpha-numeric characters were used in the name, the logical ID will be generated by the resource type
  • Up to 64 characters

Topic Name:

type: string

• The name of the topic you want to create:
  • Topic names must include only uppercase and lowercase ASCII letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens, and must be between 1 and 256 characters long
  • If you don't specify a name, AWS CloudFormation generates a unique physical ID and uses that ID for the topic name
