HAQM Simple Notification Service (HAQM SNS) has introduced additional usage metrics in HAQM CloudWatch for the following service quotas: ‘Topics per Account’, ‘Filter Policies per Account’, and ‘Pending Subscriptions per Account’. Under the ‘AWS/Usage’ namespace, you can now view the ‘ApproximateNumberOfTopics', 'ApproximateNumberOfFilterPolicies', and 'ApproximateNumberOfPendingSubscriptions' metrics to monitor your usage of these HAQM SNS resources. Moreover, using AWS Service Quotas, you can also view your utilization metrics per quota, and create HAQM CloudWatch alarms to notify you when your utilization of a given quota exceeds your configurable threshold. This enables you to more precisely adapt your utilization of HAQM SNS, based on your applied quotas.

HAQM SNS is a messaging service for Application-to-Application (A2A) and Application-to-Person (A2P) communication. The A2A functionality provides high-throughput, push-based, many-to-many messaging between distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven serverless applications. These applications include HAQM Simple Queue Service, HAQM Kinesis Data Firehose, AWS Lambda, and HTTP/S endpoints. The A2P functionality enables you to communicate with your customers via mobile text messages (SMS), mobile push notifications, and email notifications.

The new HAQM SNS usage metrics are now available in all AWS Regions, at no additional cost.
