Alerts when the AWS root user logs into AWS by sending an email to a designated email address. This infrastructure is intended to be long-lived and requires no up-keep. It should run for free or close to free, depending on your account usage.
make- AWS CLI tool
- Permission to create AWS resources
Run make to see a list of targets.
The Makefile requires specific input variables to be passed in through the command line. If in doubt, run the Makefile with a specific target and it will guide you through which variables are required.
make create-stack AWS_PROFILE=example AWS_REGION=us-east-1 [email protected]
{
"StackId": "..."
}
The stack creation will happen asynchronously, but you can check on its
status with make status. The stack creation will pause while the
SNS subscription is waiting for manual confirmation. You will need
access to the recipient email address you used in the create-stack
command in order to confirm the SNS topic subscription and allow
CloudFormation to proceed with the rest of the stack creation.
If you want to extend this project's feature set to something other than
an email-based alert, there is no need to modify this project's template.
This is easily done by importing the AlertTopicArn into another template
through !ImportValue and attaching a subscription to it.
