In AWS IoT Core, we created few things and allow policy for thing to publish certain topic.
Question here is that possible to limit the thing publish such as only 1000 publish per day on each things. This is not the AWS publish limit per second but our customized limit on things.
Any possibility to do in AWS IoT security policy on thing certificate? Or topic? This should be first level of limit to reject over-publish before it goes to rule engine.
AWS offers a service called IoT Device Defender that allows you to collect metrics for individual clients, see: https://aws.amazon.com/iot-device-defender/
You can define a threshold for the number of published messages in a given time interval and configure automatic alerts if the threshold is exceeded. These alerts can be published to an SNS topic, so you can trigger further automatic actions like disabling the client's certificate to block further messages.
The relevant metrics can be found in the "Detect" section of AWS IoT Device Defender:
Create security profile
Cloud-side metrics
Messages sent, messages received, message size...
Note that collecting these metrics is not free.
There is no way to limit per client.
As you know,
Using certificate is only way to limit per client.
ex) change A client's certificate to inactive when it publish 1000 times a day.
You have to check publishing times per client, and then change certificate's state active/inactive.

I use SNS to send confirmation codes for signing up with Cognito.
Initially, it all worked great, with a $10 spending limit on us-east-1(N Virginia).
After some card issues, my spening limit got reduced to $1 and it was already reached.
After requesting a spending limit increase, Amazon increased my spending limit on Amazon SNS us-east-2(Ohio). My issue is that now Cognito tries to send messages using the Virginia server instead of the Ohio one, resulting in failed attempts.
I would like to switch SNS servers or maybe disable us-east-1 to fix this issue.
I'd appreciate any info on the matter.
Thanks in advance.

SMS messages from Amazon Cognito user pools are routed through Amazon
SNS in the same region unless noted in the following table.
There is no way to change this internal mapping. Ideally the easiest way is to increase the SNS spending limit in the us-east-1 region. Not sure why you got it in the us-east-2 region.. maybe you could explain further on that.
Another option is to use this new feature:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/user-pool-lambda-custom-sms-sender.html
It is a new Lambda trigger which is not available in the console but can be added in the CLI. You could use the AWS SDK to send the CODEs via SNS in the given region. I have not done this myself but should satisfy your usecase.
I've got rather rare requirement to deliver SNS topic message to all micro service instances.
Basically it's kind of notification that related data had changed
and all micro service instances should reload their internals from data source.
We are using TerraForm to create our infrastructure, with Kong api gateway.
Micro Service instances could be created 'on the fly' as system load is increased,
so subscriptions to topic could not be created in TerraForm stage.
Micro Service is standard SpringBoot app.
My first approach is:
micro service is exposing http endpoint that can be subscribed to SNS topic
micro service on start will subscribe itself (above endpoint) to required SNS topic, unsubscribe on service shutdown.
My problem is to determine individual micro service instances urls, that can be used in subscription process.
Alternative approach would be to use SQS, create SQS queue per micro srv instance (subscribe it to sns).
Maybe I'm doing it wrong on conceptual level ?
Maybe different architecture approach is required ?
It might be easier for the microservices to check an object in Amazon S3 to "pull" the configuration updates (or at least call HeadObject to check if the configuration has changed) rather than trying to "push" the configuration update to all servers.
Or, use AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store and have the servers cache the credentials for a period (eg 5 minutes) so they aren't always checking the configuration.
Kinda old right now but here is my solution:
create SNS, subscribe with SQS, publish the SQS to redis pub/sub, subscribe to pub/sub
now all your instances will get the event.
I am using google IoT core and pubsub services for my IoT devices. I am publishing data using pubsub to the database. but I think its quite expensive to store every data into the database. I have some data like if the device is on or off and a configuration file which has some parameter which I need to process my IoT payload. Now I am not able to understand if configuration and state topic in IoT is expensive or not? and how long the data is stored in the config topic and is it feasible that whenever the parameter is changed in the config file it publish that data into config topic? and what if I publish my state of a device that if it is online or not every 3 seconds or more into the state topic?
You are mixing different things. There is Cloud IoT, where you have a device registry, with metadata, configuration and states. You also have PubSub topic in which you can publish message about IoT payload that can contain configuration data (I assume that is that you means in this sentence: "it publish that data into config topic").
In definitive it's simple.
All the management operations on Cloud IoT are free (device registration, configuration, metadata,...). There is no limitation and no duration limit. The only one which exists in the quotas for rate limit and configuration size.
The inbound and outbound traffic from and to the IoT devices is billed as described here
If you use PubSub for pushing your messages, Cloud Functions (or Cloud Run, or other compute option), a database (Cloud SQL or Datastore/Firestore), all these services are billed as usual, there is no relation with Cloud IoT service & billing. The constraints of each services are applied as a regular usage. For example, a PubSub message live up to 7 days (by default) in a subscription and until it hasn't acknowledged.
EDIT
Ok, got it, I took time to understood what you wanted to achieve.
The state is designed for getting the internal representation of the devices, but the current limitation doesn't allow you to update it automatically when you received message.
You have 2 solutions:
Either you can update your devices and send an update message only when its state changes (it's for this kind of use case that the feature is designed!)
Or, let the device published the messages every 3 seconds, but in the event PubSub topic. Get the events in a function which get the state list, get the first one (the most recent) and compare the value with the PubSub message. If different, update the state. This workflow also work with external database like Datastore or Firestore.
I am willing to make a simple chat application in django.
After user sends message and the message in saved in Message model I would like to signal the publish event so that my mobile app gets message.
I went throught the SNS documentation and in its pricing I found Data transferred between Amazon SNS and Amazon EC2 within a single region is free of charge (i.e., $0.00 per GB)
My api is/will be hosted in ec2 in the same region lets say at Singapore the same region as sns. If I publish a event which I receive a message in my mobile application , will that cost me or it is considered as same region ? If it does than building a chat application using SNS will be very expensive.
If anyone can meke me clear about it that would be so helpful.
Thank you
Well I don't think it will be free even if they are in the same region but their prices for SNS are too low, if in free tier of Amazon you won't be charged for
1,000,000 Requests of Amazon Simple Queue Service every month**
1,000,000 Requests, 100,000 HTTP notifications and 1,000 email
notifications for Amazon Simple Notification Service every month**
as the SNS pricing suggests. Going above the limits will cost you :
It costs $1.00 to send one million mobile push notifications ($0.50 per million publishes, plus $0.50 per million mobile push notification deliveries). When you use SNS topics to broadcast identical messages to many recipients at once.
Here is the model I want to build:
Unlimited topics (I know the AWS limit is currently 3000)
Unlimited subscribers per topic (AWS SNS documentation does not state a limit)
Each subscriber will have a different schedule that they wish to receive SMS or email messages.
If I have a topic with 10 subscribers where 5 want morning messages and 5 want evening messages. The schedules can be changed and will be administered by a web app (utilizing the API) by an administrator so building one topic per schedule is not the ideal solution and the variations would chew up a lot of the 3000 topics.
SNS does not support the ability to publish to a subset of topic subscribers, other than when using its Android/iOS push notification capability, which is neither email nor http nor sms, and is so different than everything else SNS does, I'm not entirely sure why Amazon didn't market it as an entirely different product.
At this time, direct addressing is only supported for push notifications to iOS, Kindle, and Android endpoints
http://aws.amazon.com/sns/faqs/#Does_SNS_support_direct_addressing_for_SMS_or_Email
The documented limit for the number of subscribers to a single topic is 10,000. This appears to be a hard limit; however, the limit of 3,000 topics per account is apparently not a hard limit, since there is a documented process for requesting an increase to that limit.
There's a big gap between 3,000 topics of 10,000 subscribers each and 10 subscribers split among 2 or 3 topics, but it still doesn't seem like SNS is the right platform for what you're trying to do -- limits or no limits -- because every time a subscriber is added to a topic, they have to confirm their subscription to that topic... so if whatever your admin does to manipulate topic subscribership will still result in a confirmation message from "AWS Notifications" being sent to each subscriber from Amazon SNS requiring them to opt-in before subsequent messages can be delivered, and that's a process that would be have to be repeated if a subscriber wanted to change their delivery schedule (which means adding them to a new topic). You can't programmatically skip this step.
Within AWS, Simple Email Service seems like a more appropriate (and recipient-friendly, assuming your recipients are from the general public) platform based on what it seems like you're contemplating, with the logic of determining which recipients are associated with each message being determined by logic from your database... it doesn't have the same pricing structure, and it doesn't do SMS (though SMS through SNS seems pretty pricey at any rate), and unlike SNS, SES doesn't have a 256k limit per message.
That does put more of a burden on your application, since you'd have to send copies of the message to SES for each subscriber, but if outgoing bandwidth is an issue, an instance deployed inside EC2 could easily take care of replicating and transmitting the message to SES. With SES, you also get bounce and complaint notifications on your messages.
This is the approach I would take.
But then again, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.
