Terraform module to provision SNS topic

[!TIP]

👽 Use Atmos with Terraform

Cloud Posse uses atmos to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform.
Works with Github Actions, Atlantis, or Spacelift.

Watch demo of using Atmos with Terraform

Example of running atmos to manage infrastructure from our Quick Start tutorial.

Introduction

This module provides:

SNS topic creation
SNS topic policy
SNS topic subscriptions

It's possible to subscribe SQS as Dead Letter Queue.

Usage

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. SNS documentation

There are many ways SNS can be used. As an example we can imagine CloudWatch sending alerts to SNS, by using subscribers such notifications can be sent further to PagerDuty, OpsGenie or any other oncall management tool.

[!IMPORTANT] In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning modules to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each module to the exact version you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your infrastructure. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.

Examples

module "sns" {
  source = "cloudposse/sns-topic/aws"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version     = "x.x.x"

  attributes = var.attributes
  name       = var.name
  namespace  = var.namespace
  stage      = var.stage

  subscribers = {
    opsgenie = {
      protocol = "https"
      endpoint = "https://api.example.com/v1/"
      endpoint_auto_confirms = true
    }
  }

  sqs_dlq_enabled = false
}

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default	Required
additional_tag_map	Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in `tags_as_list_of_maps`. Not added to `tags` or `id`. This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.	`map(string)`	`{}`	no
allowed_aws_services_for_sns_published	AWS services that will have permission to publish to SNS topic. Used when no external JSON policy is used	`list(string)`	`[]`	no
allowed_iam_arns_for_sns_publish	IAM role/user ARNs that will have permission to publish to SNS topic. Used when no external json policy is used.	`list(string)`	`[]`	no
attributes	ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. `workers` or `cluster`) to add to `id`, in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the `delimiter` and treated as a single ID element.	`list(string)`	`[]`	no
content_based_deduplication	Enable content-based deduplication for FIFO topics	`bool`	`false`	no
context	Single object for setting entire context at once. See description of individual variables for details. Leave string and numeric variables as `null` to use default value. Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object, except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.	`any`	{ "additional_tag_map": {}, "attributes": [], "delimiter": null, "descriptor_formats": {}, "enabled": true, "environment": null, "id_length_limit": null, "label_key_case": null, "label_order": [], "label_value_case": null, "labels_as_tags": [ "unset" ], "name": null, "namespace": null, "regex_replace_chars": null, "stage": null, "tags": {}, "tenant": null }	no
delimiter	Delimiter to be used between ID elements. Defaults to `-` (hyphen). Set to `""` to use no delimiter at all.	`string`	`null`	no
delivery_policy	The SNS delivery policy as JSON.	`string`	`null`	no
descriptor_formats	Describe additional descriptors to be output in the `descriptors` output map. Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form `{<br/> format = string<br/> labels = list(string)<br/>}` (Type is `any` so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.) `format` is a Terraform format string to be passed to the `format()` function. `labels` is a list of labels, in order, to pass to `format()` function. Label values will be normalized before being passed to `format()` so they will be identical to how they appear in `id`. Default is `{}` (`descriptors` output will be empty).	`any`	`{}`	no
enabled	Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources	`bool`	`null`	no
encryption_enabled	Whether or not to use encryption for SNS Topic. If set to `true` and no custom value for KMS key (kms_master_key_id) is provided, it uses the default `alias/aws/sns` KMS key.	`bool`	`true`	no
environment	ID element. Usually used for region e.g. 'uw2', 'us-west-2', OR role 'prod', 'staging', 'dev', 'UAT'	`string`	`null`	no
fifo_queue_enabled	Whether or not to create a FIFO (first-in-first-out) queue	`bool`	`false`	no
fifo_topic	Whether or not to create a FIFO (first-in-first-out) topic	`bool`	`false`	no
id_length_limit	Limit `id` to this many characters (minimum 6). Set to `0` for unlimited length. Set to `null` for keep the existing setting, which defaults to `0`. Does not affect `id_full`.	`number`	`null`	no
kms_master_key_id	The ID of an AWS-managed customer master key (CMK) for Amazon SNS or a custom CMK.	`string`	`"alias/aws/sns"`	no
label_key_case	Controls the letter case of the `tags` keys (label names) for tags generated by this module. Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the `tags` input. Possible values: `lower`, `title`, `upper`. Default value: `title`.	`string`	`null`	no
label_order	The order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the `id`. Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"]. You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present.	`list(string)`	`null`	no
label_value_case	Controls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in `id`, set as tag values, and output by this module individually. Does not affect values of tags passed in via the `tags` input. Possible values: `lower`, `title`, `upper` and `none` (no transformation). Set this to `title` and set `delimiter` to `""` to yield Pascal Case IDs. Default value: `lower`.	`string`	`null`	no
labels_as_tags	Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the `tags` output. Default is to include all labels. Tags with empty values will not be included in the `tags` output. Set to `[]` to suppress all generated tags. Notes: The value of the `name` tag, if included, will be the `id`, not the `name`. Unlike other `null-label` inputs, the initial setting of `labels_as_tags` cannot be changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.	`set(string)`	[ "default" ]	no
name	ID element. Usually the component or solution name, e.g. 'app' or 'jenkins'. This is the only ID element not also included as a `tag`. The "name" tag is set to the full `id` string. There is no tag with the value of the `name` input.	`string`	`null`	no
namespace	ID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally unique	`string`	`null`	no
redrive_policy	The SNS redrive policy as JSON. This overrides `var.redrive_policy_max_receiver_count` and the `deadLetterTargetArn` (supplied by `var.fifo_queue = true`) passed in by the module.	`string`	`null`	no
redrive_policy_max_receiver_count	The number of times a message is delivered to the source queue before being moved to the dead-letter queue. When the ReceiveCount for a message exceeds the maxReceiveCount for a queue, Amazon SQS moves the message to the dead-letter-queue.	`number`	`5`	no
regex_replace_chars	Terraform regular expression (regex) string. Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements. If not set, `"/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/"` is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.	`string`	`null`	no
sns_topic_policy_json	The fully-formed AWS policy as JSON	`string`	`""`	no
sqs_dlq_enabled	Enable delivery of failed notifications to SQS and monitor messages in queue.	`bool`	`false`	no
