AWS SDK

AWS gives engineers many ways to accomplish many tasks. Here we will look at creating both a Simple Notification Service topic as well as a Simple Queue Service queue and then creating an SNS subscription “linking” the two. All the while, we will exclusively use the AWS CLI to accomplish the task. This exercise could also be carried out in  the AWS console as well as one of the AWS SDKs and if you are proficient in an AWS SDK or the console, feel free to use one of those tools to view the changes being made while we move through this solution.
