Study Notes

  • Amazon S3 Notifications provide real-time alerts when events occur in an S3 bucket.
  • Allows for automated processes like triggering workflows, processing data, and integrating with other services.

Key Concepts

  • Notifications are triggered by specific events within a bucket.
  • Events include object creation, removal, or modifications.

Event Types

  • s3:ObjectCreated:*: Triggered when a new object is created or uploaded.
  • s3:ObjectRemoved:*: Triggered when an object is deleted or removed.
  • s3:ObjectRestore:*: Triggered on initiating or completing an object restore operation.
  • s3:ObjectLock*: Triggered by object lock events like changes to legal holds or retention settings.

Event Sources

  • Notifications can be based on actions performed on objects with filtering to narrow scope.
  • Filtering examples include notifications for all objects or those with specific prefixes or suffixes. for example files in a specific folder or JPG files only.

Destinations for Notifications

  • Notifications can be sent to different services.
  • Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) sends events to a queue for asynchronous processing.
  • Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) sends notifications to multiple recipients such as email addresses, Lambda functions, or HTTP/S endpoints.
  • AWS Lambda can directly trigger a Lambda function for custom logic on an event.

Event Notification Configuration

  • Setup is through the S3 console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs, defining event types, filters, and destination.
  • Multiple notifications can be set for the same bucket with different filters and destinations.

How S3 Notifications Work

  • When a specified event occurs, the notification system automatically triggers based on your configuration.
  • Event data includes object key, bucket name, event type, and metadata.
  • The event data is delivered to the configured destination service.

Processing Events

  • Event data provides information about the action, including object key, bucket name, and timestamp.
  • Data is sent to the specified destination (Lambda, SQS, SNS).

Destination Action

  • SQS places events in a queue for retrieval and processing, enabling actions like logging or data transformation.
  • SNS allows multiple subscribers to react, such as sending an email when a new file is uploaded.
  • Lambda invokes a function with event data, enabling custom logic like image resizing or data validation.

Common Use Cases for S3 Notifications

  • Image processing triggers a Lambda function to process images upon upload.
  • Data pipeline automation uses notifications to trigger data processing and storage when a new file is uploaded.
  • Log file analysis notifies a service to analyze log data in real-time when a new log file is uploaded.
  • Backup verification sends an email via SNS to confirm successful backup creation.
  • Object deletion notifications track data lifecycle events to prevent unintentional data removal.
  • Data Archiving/Restoration notifies users when archived data is restored from S3 Glacier.

Steps to Configure S3 Notifications

  • Choose an event type like s3:ObjectCreated:Put for notifications on new uploads via PUT.
  • Set optional event filters using prefixes or suffixes.
  • Select a destination of SQS Queue, SNS Topic, or Lambda Function.
  • Configure permissions, ensuring S3 can send notifications to the selected destination.
  • Test by performing the event that should trigger the notification.

Example Use Case: Image Upload and Processing with Lambda

  • Create a Lambda function to resize images using the AWS SDK.
  • Setup an S3 notification for the s3:ObjectCreated:Put event to trigger the Lambda function.
  • Configure IAM permissions for the Lambda function to access and modify objects in the S3 bucket.
  • Upload an image to the bucket to trigger processing and storage of the resized version.

Benefits of S3 Notifications

  • Real-time processing automatically triggers processes without manual intervention.
  • Decoupling enables independent systems to react to the same event.
  • Integration with AWS services creates powerful and scalable workflows.
  • Cost-effectiveness comes from free basic usage with charges only for AWS resources used in processing events.

Limitations and Considerations

  • Event delivery may experience delays between the event and notification.

  • Lambda execution limits include a maximum duration of 15 minutes per invocation.

  • Event rate limits can affect high-volume operations.

  • S3 Notifications are an important way to automate workflows to integrate AWS services in response to changes in your S3 bucket.
