Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topics. To learn more about Amazon SNS and creating
topics, go to Create a Topic in the Amazon Simple Notification Service Getting Started
Guide. If you don't have any topics in Amazon SNS, you can create a topic in the Create
Alarm dialog by clicking the create topic link.

redshift-example-cluster-alarms.
