Is there any way send alert when s3 bucket(objects) is created/deleted?

Time:11-06

Recently we had terrible day someone from team deleted terraform state file. so we thought implementing alerts on s3. is there any way we can alert(send notifications)?

CodePudding user response:

You can use CloudTrail SNS to generate alerts about S3 object creation and deletion like so:

Here's a user guide from AWS that may help you as well: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/NotificationHowTo.html

There's a nice video from 2018 about how to get SNS notifications to get alerts about S3 object creation/deletion. Check that out also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGyuzMbXD0Y

The other couple of practices you could us are:

  • enable versioning
  • create policies so users cannot delete objects
  • enable object locking
  • replicate bucket to a different region
  • optionally, keep a air-gapped copy outside of AWS S3 for critical files

That'll prevent an important file from being accidentally deleted.

CodePudding user response:

Amazon S3 Events can send notifications when objects in an Amazon S3 bucket are created or deleted.

The notification can:

  • Send a message to an Amazon SNS Topic
  • Send a message to an Amazon SQS Queue
  • Trigger an AWS Lambda function
