create-topic

Description

Creates a topic to which notifications can be published. Users can create at most 100,000 standard topics (at most 1,000 FIFO topics). For more information, see https://aws.amazon.com/sns . This action is idempotent, so if the requester already owns a topic with the specified name, that topic’s ARN is returned without creating a new topic.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  create-topic
--name <value>
[--attributes <value>]
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--name (string)

The name of the topic you want to create.

Constraints: Topic names must be made up of only uppercase and lowercase ASCII letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens, and must be between 1 and 256 characters long.

For a FIFO (first-in-first-out) topic, the name must end with the .fifo suffix.

--attributes (map)

A map of attributes with their corresponding values.

The following lists the names, descriptions, and values of the special request parameters that the CreateTopic action uses:

• DeliveryPolicy – The policy that defines how Amazon SNS retries failed deliveries to HTTP/S endpoints.

• DisplayName – The display name to use for a topic with SMS subscriptions.

• FifoTopic – Set to true to create a FIFO topic.

• Policy – The policy that defines who can access your topic. By default, only the topic owner can publish or subscribe to the topic.

The following attribute applies only to server-side-encryption :

• KmsMasterKeyId – The ID of an AWS-managed customer master key (CMK) for Amazon SNS or a custom CMK. For more information, see Key Terms . For more examples, see KeyId in the AWS Key Management Service API Reference .

The following attributes apply only to FIFO topics :

• FifoTopic – When this is set to true , a FIFO topic is created.

• ContentBasedDeduplication – Enables content-based deduplication for FIFO topics.

  • By default, ContentBasedDeduplication is set to false . If you create a FIFO topic and this attribute is false , you must specify a value for the MessageDeduplicationId parameter for the Publish action.

  • When you set ContentBasedDeduplication to true , Amazon SNS uses a SHA-256 hash to generate the MessageDeduplicationId using the body of the message (but not the attributes of the message). (Optional) To override the generated value, you can specify a value for the the MessageDeduplicationId parameter for the Publish action.

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--tags (list)

The list of tags to add to a new topic.

Note

To be able to tag a topic on creation, you must have the sns:CreateTopic and sns:TagResource permissions.

(structure)

The list of tags to be added to the specified topic.

Key -> (string)

The required key portion of the tag.

Value -> (string)

The optional value portion of the tag.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples
