To create SNS via alerts when new servers (EC2) instances are created or terminated on AWS. Navigate to CloudWatch Service on AWS:

Step 1: Create a new Rule for EC2 API call “RunInstances”.

Step 2: “EC2 Instancestate-change notification” with status “running” if you want to get emails for any instance that starts up.

Configure an SNS topic as destination. You can also customise the message using data from the event.
Subscribe to the SNS topic with your email address to start receiving events.

Enter ‘rule name’ and description below

After you fill in all the details, a success window confirms that all rules are configured correctly. And you create the Simple Notification Service (SNS) notification on AWS.
