Introduction5:46
Explore the fundamentals of the AWS simple notification service, including topics, subscribers, publishing messages, and real-world use cases with cloud watch alarms, lambda triggers, email delivery, and pricing.

What is SNS and use Cases ?3:09
AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS) acts as a broker between publishers and receivers, delivering autoscaling group events to email, mobile, or http endpoints for use cases like alarms and alerts.
Understanding Topics & Subscribers3:28
Creating First SNS Topic & Subscribe via Email6:24
Learn how to create your first SNS topic in the AWS console, subscribe an email endpoint, confirm the subscription, and publish messages to receive email notifications.
Publish to Topic using AWS CLI9:48
Learn how to create SNS topics with the AWS CLI, configure topic attributes, and publish messages to topics across regions.
Section Recap1:39
Introduce the simple notification service basics, including publishers, topics, and subscribers, and demonstrate creating a topic, its attributes, a subscription, and publishing a message via the console.

Autoscaling - Use case description1:39
Explore how SNS works with Auto Scaling groups to notify administrators of scaling activity triggered by CloudWatch latency alarms, enabling proactive monitoring of scaling in dynamic applications.
SNS with Autoscaling events (Hands on Lab)7:08
Set up an sns topic, attach it to an autoscaling group, and subscribe by email to receive lifecycle notifications on launch, fail to launch, or terminate events with details.
Cloudwatch - Use case description1:50
Learn how cloud watch collects metric and log data to monitor applications, configure alarms, and receive sns notifications, with a lab to create a cloud watch alarm and notifications.
SNS with Cloudwatch Alarms (Hands on Lab)12:19
Learn to create an SNS topic and configure a CloudWatch alarm to monitor CPU utilization across an auto scaling group, triggering email notifications and showcasing alarm states.
SQS - Use case description2:23
Discover a use case of AWS SNS with SQS, where messages are published to SQS and email notifications are sent, with later pull for analytics.
SNS with SQS (Hands on Lab)11:04
Create an sns topic and an sqs queue, then set permissions and subscriptions. Publish messages to the topic and pull them from the queue to demonstrate sns-sqs integration.
Trigger Lambda function with SNS (Hands on Lab)8:05
Engage in a hands-on lab to configure an SNS topic, attach a Lambda function, publish messages, and observe invocation in CloudWatch logs.
Using SNS for sending SMS6:42
Create an SNS topic, add an SMS subscription with a phone number, publish to reach many mobiles, and manage promotional vs transactional messages, sender id, and opt-out preferences.
SNS Applications overview3:24
Explore how AWS SNS platform applications enable push notifications across iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Mac, and Kindle by creating platform apps, provisioning credentials, and using the SDK to send notifications.
SNS Pricing3:42
Explore AWS SNS pricing, including the free tier for mobile push notifications and email, per‑million charges, regional rate variations, and no charges for Lambda within the ecosystem.

Part 1: Publish to SNS from Nodejs application10:05
Learn to publish messages to AWS SNS from a Node.js application by setting up AWS credentials, crafting a publish-only IAM policy, installing the AWS SDK, and publishing to a topic.
Part 2: Publish to SNS from Nodejs application11:39
publish an SNS message from a Node.js application using the AWS SDK, including configuring credentials, initializing the SDK, selecting a topic, and handling the publish response.

Description

As you all know Amazon Web Services is one of the heavily used cloud platforms and it is really important to understand the key services and most heavily used services in AWS, one such service is Simple Notification Service. This service is pretty much tied to every AWS service like for example Autoscaling, cloudwatch, sqs and many more and it adds a great value to the AWS Services. Not only in AWS Ecosystem, SNS can be leveraged outside the AWS Ecosystem by using the aws creds. This allows may use cases like sending exception messages from application or sending critical information which helps you maintain your applications in a better way. With these broad use cases it is really important to understand SNS in and out to be able to better put to use. SNS Offers a lot of value to both the Developers as well as Administrators.

This course covers a lot of hands on labs to get you an in depth understanding of AWS SNS and you do not require any prior knowledge of using AWS.

By the end of the course students can take away a complete understanding of SNS as well as develops a lot of ideas to leverage SNS in their applications or administrative practices.

I really hope that you will join the course and benefit from it.
