Specifying Spend Limits for Specific AWS SNS SMS Campaigns

Introduction

In this guide, we will demonstrate how to set up spend limits for specific AWS SNS SMS campaigns using Pulumi. AWS SNS (Simple Notification Service) allows you to send SMS messages to your users, and setting spend limits helps you control costs and prevent overspending.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Install Pulumi and AWS SDK

Ensure you have Pulumi and the AWS SDK installed. You can install Pulumi using npm:

npm install -g pulumi

And the AWS SDK for JavaScript:

npm install @pulumi/aws

Step 2: Create a New Pulumi Project

Create a new Pulumi project if you don’t already have one:

pulumi new aws-typescript

Step 3: Configure AWS SNS SMS Spend Limits

In your Pulumi program, you can configure spend limits for AWS SNS SMS campaigns using the aws.sns.SmsPreferences resource. Here is an example:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Set spend limits for SMS messages
const smsPreferences = new aws.sns.SmsPreferences("smsPreferences", {
    monthlySpendLimit: "10", // Set the monthly spend limit to $10
    defaultSenderId: "MySenderId", // Set a default sender ID
    defaultSmsType: "Transactional", // Set the default SMS type to Transactional
});

export const monthlySpendLimit = smsPreferences.monthlySpendLimit;

Step 4: Deploy the Pulumi Stack

Deploy your Pulumi stack to apply the configuration:

pulumi up

Summary

By following these steps, you can set up spend limits for specific AWS SNS SMS campaigns using Pulumi. This helps you control costs and ensure that your SMS campaigns stay within budget. For more information, refer to the Pulumi AWS SNS documentation.
