S3 Event Notifications Setup​

  1. Create SQS Queue:

    aws sqs create-queue --queue-name safebucket-sqs --region us-east-1

  2. Configure S3 Event Notifications:

    • Go to S3 Console → Your Bucket → Properties → Event Notifications
    • Create notification for "All object create events" and "All object delete events"
    • Set destination to your SQS queue

  3. Update Queue Policy to allow S3 to send messages:

    {
      "Version": "2012-10-17",
      "Statement": [
        {
          "Effect": "Allow",
          "Principal": {
            "Service": "s3.amazonaws.com"
          },
