This plan involves assessing existing configurations, guiding through SNS topic setups, configuring notifications, and validating the entire setup to ensure notifications are correctly delivered.

  • List SNS Topics: Present existing SNS topics to evaluate if a current topic can be leveraged for Trusted Advisor notifications.
  • Determine SNS Topic Usage: Assist in deciding whether to utilize an existing SNS topic or to create a new one, based on available options.
  • Capture SNS Topic Details: If creating a new SNS topic is necessary, collect the desired topic name and email addresses for subscription.

Summary Phase

  • Confirm Configuration: Allow the user to review and verify current configuration details, including region, SNS topics, and notification settings before proceeding.

Configuration Phase

  • Create SNS Topic: Execute the creation of a new SNS topic if required, using the specified topic name and region.
  • Subscribe Emails: Subscribe the captured email addresses to the SNS topic ensuring they receive notifications.
  • Create EventBridge Rule: Establish a new EventBridge rule to capture Trusted Advisor notifications using defined event patterns.
  • Add SNS Target to EventBridge Rule: Assign the SNS topic as a target for the EventBridge rule to complete the notification setup chain.

Validation Phase

  • Validate SNS Subscriptions: Confirm that all email subscriptions to the SNS topic are active and verified.
  • Validate EventBridge Rule: Ensure the EventBridge rule is correctly set up and operational, verifying the rule's existence and active state.

This structured plan ensures AWS Trusted Advisor notifications are efficiently set up to alert relevant parties, maintaining system performance and availability through continuous monitoring and quick response capabilities.
