Reference

Inputs

• allow_publish_accounts — A list of IAM ARNs that will be given the rights to publish to the SNS topic.

• allow_publish_services — A list of AWS services that will be given the rights to publish to the SNS topic.

• allow_subscribe_accounts — A list of IAM ARNs that will be given the rights to subscribe to the SNS topic.

• allow_subscribe_protocols — A list of protocols that can be used to subscribe to the SNS topic.

• create_resources — Set to false to have this module create no resources. This weird parameter exists solely because Terraform does not support conditional modules. Therefore, this is a hack to allow you to conditionally decide if the resources should be created or not.

• display_name — The display name of the SNS topic

• kms_master_key_id — The ID of an AWS-managed customer master key (CMK) for Amazon SNS or a custom CMK

• name — The name of the SNS topic

• slack_webhook_url — Send topic notifications to this Slack Webhook URL (e.g., https://hooks.slack.com/services/FOO/BAR/BAZ).

Outputs

• topic_arn — The ARN of the SNS topic.
