In this live AWS environment, you will be using the AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS). You will create an SNS topic and then subscribe to that topic using multiple endpoints (SMS, email, and AWS Lambda). This environment will allow you to demonstrate successful interaction with the SNS service by creating SNS topics and adding subscribers to those topics. At the end of this activity, you will have demonstrated you have a basic understanding of the SNS service, the components within it, and how to use the service in the AWS console.
