a new object with the same name as is referenced in the subscription source ID, the subscription will start
sending notifications for events from the new object.
Amazon Redshift publishes event notifications to an Amazon SNS topic, which is identified by its Amazon
Resource Name (ARN).When you create an event subscription using the Amazon Redshift console, you
can either specify an existing Amazon SNS topic, or request that the console create the topic when it
creates the subscription. All Amazon Redshift event notifications sent to the Amazon SNS topic are in
turn transmitted to all Amazon SNS consumers that are subscribed to that topic. Use the Amazon SNS
console to make changes to the Amazon SNS topic, such as adding or removing consumer subscriptions
to the topic. For more information about creating and subscribing to Amazon SNS topics, go to Getting
Started with Amazon Simple Notification Service.
Amazon Redshift publishes event notifications to an Amazon SNS topic, which is identified by its Amazon
Resource Name (ARN).When you create an event subscription using the Amazon Redshift console, you
can either specify an existing Amazon SNS topic, or request that the console create the topic when it
creates the subscription. If you use the CLI or API, you must supply the Amazon Resource Name (ARN)
of an existing topic. If no Amazon SNS topic exists, you must first create one by using the Amazon SNS
console or the Amazon SNS API before you create the Amazon Redshift subscription. All Amazon Redshift
event notifications sent to the Amazon SNS topic are in turn transmitted to all Amazon SNS consumers
that are subscribed to that topic. For more information about creating and subscribing to Amazon SNS
topics, go to Getting Started with Amazon Simple Notification Service.
