Setting-up initial AWS resources for Amazon SNS message archiving and analytics

To create the initial resources

1. Create the Amazon S3 bucket:

   1. Open the Amazon S3 console.

   2. Choose Create bucket.

   3. For Bucket name, enter a globally unique name. Keep the other fields as the defaults.

   4. Choose Create bucket.

   For more information about Amazon S3 buckets, see Creating a bucket in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide and Working with Amazon S3 Buckets in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.

2. Create the two Amazon SQS queues:

   1. Open the Amazon SQS console.

   2. Choose Create queue.

   3. For Type, choose Standard.

   4. For Name, enter ticketPaymentQueue.

   5. Under Access policy, for Choose method, choose Advanced.

   6. In the JSON policy box, paste the following policy:

      {
        "Version": "2008-10-17",
        "Statement": [
          {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Principal": {
              "Service": "sns.amazonaws.com"
            },
            "Action": "sqs:SendMessage",
            "Resource": "*",
            "Condition": {
              "ArnEquals": {
                "aws:SourceArn": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:ticketTopic"
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }

      In this access policy, replace the AWS account number (123456789012) with your own, and change the AWS Region (us-east-1) accordingly.

   7. Choose Create queue.

   8. Repeat these steps to create a second SQS queue named ticketFraudQueue.

   2. Under Details, for Protocol, choose Amazon SQS.

   3. For Endpoint, choose the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the ticketPaymentQueue queue.
