Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) enables you to log the delivery status of messages sent from your topic to subscribers. Once configured, log entries are sent to Amazon CloudWatch. Logging message delivery status helps you determine whether a message was delivered to an endpoint, what the endpoint response was, and the message dwell time. Now, you can configure your delivery status logging with Amazon CloudFormation for new and existing Amazon SNS topics.

Amazon 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 Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, Lambda, and HTTP/S endpoints. The A2P functionality enables you to communicate with your customers, via mobile push notifications, and email notifications.

Amazon SNS now supports configuring delivery status logging with Amazon CloudFormation in the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD, and the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet. To learn more, see Message delivery status, in the Amazon SNS Developer Guide.
