03/20/2019, 9:47 PMTrying to set up a SNS email subscription and I see this in the docs for `TopicSubscriptionArgs`:
Copy code
/**
* The protocol to use. The possible values for this are: `sqs`, `sms`, `lambda`, `application`. (`http` or `https` are partially supported, see below) (`email` is option but unsupported, see below).
*/
readonly protocol: pulumi.Input<string>;emailOh, I see this: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/sns_topic_subscription.html#protocols-supported from https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/1660#issuecomment-408213388. Are there workarounds for this?

03/20/2019, 9:49 PMNot as far as I’m aware right now
It’s been a limitation of Terraform forever

03/20/2019, 9:50 PMSo how do people set up CloudWatch alarms with email? Do users typically do this manually?

03/20/2019, 9:52 PMMy guess is manually, I’ve never actually tried it though

03/20/2019, 9:55 PMSeems like the workaround is to use a CF stack to create the subscription: http://aws-cloud.guru/terraform-sns-topic-email-list/. Nasty but will probably work.

03/20/2019, 10:02 PMUgh, that sucks. I wonder if we can do better here. It’s conceivable that there are other workflows since that was done in Terraform (similar to ACM etc)

03/20/2019, 10:07 PMIt may be possible to wrap a CF template, similar to what the awsx.Cluster.createAutoScalingGroup does.
Will try something like this:
Copy code
function snsEmailSubscription(topicArn: string, email: string) {
return new aws.cloudformation.Stack("alert-email-subscribe", {
templateBody: JSON.stringify({
"AWSTemplateFormatVersion": "2010-09-09",
"Resources": {
"EmailSNSTopic": {
"Type": "AWS::SNS::Subscription",
"Properties": {
"TopicArn": topicArn,
"Protocol": "email",
"Endpoint": email
}
}
}
}),
capabilities: ["CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM"]
})
}s

03/20/2019, 10:36 PMThis is probably the kind of thing we should consider adding to
