After that, we’re going to create SNS topic which is going to be the target for our event rule in the event bridge.
- Click create topic
- Type standard
- Click createtopic
We’ve created SNS topic now I’m going to enable an email subscription to this topic anytime an event happens. scroll down to the subscription.
- Click createsubscription
- Leave the other settings to default
So before we can get notifications we need to confirm my email address. for that check your mailbox and click confirm subscription.
Alright, the status is confirmed.
Create EventBridge rule:
Next, create the rule and give it a name and for pattern, it’s a rule with an event pattern because it’s coming from an ec2 event. Click next and scroll down and follow the settings for the Event pattern as mentioned in the image.
After that, click next and for selecting target check the below image:

Therefore, In this article, we’ve seen how we can configure the Amazon EventBridge by SNS to get an email for the states of the ec2 machine and it depends on the event type you’ll get the notification as per the selected event.
