AWS Credentials permissions

If you are using AWS IAM credentials or AWS IAM role credentials, they should have at least the following privileges:

{
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "Stmt1234",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "sns:Publish"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:12341234:MyTopicName"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Usage Examples

Using Amazon IAM roles

Using chef_handler_sns cookbook with IAM roles is rather easy.

Including in a Cookbook Recipe

First, you need to include this cookbook as a dependency in your cookbook:

# metadata.rb
depends 'chef_handler_sns'
# in your recipe
node['chef_handler_sns']['topic_arn'] = 'arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:12341234:MyTopicName'
include_recipe 'chef_handler_sns::default'

Using the LWRP from a Cookbook Recipe

You can also use the chef_handler_sns LWRP directly instead of including the recipe:

# metadata.rb
depends 'chef_handler_sns'
# in your recipe
chef_handler_sns 'arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:12341234:MyTopicName'

Including in the Run List

To include this cookbook directly in your run list, you must set at least the topic_arn attribute:

{
  "name": "git.zuazo.org",
  [...]
  "normal": {
    "chef_handler_sns": {
      "topic_arn": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:12341234:MyTopicName"
    }
  },
  "run_list": [
    [...]
    "recipe[chef_handler_sns]"
  ]
}

Passing the AWS credentials (machines without IAM roles)

If you are using Amazon EC2 without IAM roles or machines from other providers outside AWS, you must set the AWS credentials: access_key and secret_key (and sometimes also token).

Using the LWRP from a Cookbook Recipe

# metadata.rb
depends 'chef_handler_sns'
# in your recipe
chef_handler_sns 'arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:12341234:MyTopicName' do
  access_key '***AMAZON-KEY***'
  secret_key '***AMAZON-SECRET***'
end

Installing old versions

If you are not using IAM roles and you don't need to use AWS security tokens, you can use old versions of chef-handler-sns (< 1.0.0). Those versions does not require nokogiri, so they have lighter dependencies and take less time to install.

chef_handler_sns 'arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:12341234:MyTopicName' do
  access_key '***AMAZON-KEY***'
  secret_key '***AMAZON-SECRET***'
  version '0.2.6'
end
