AWS Polly InvalidSnsTopicArnException
Understanding AWS Polly
AWS Polly is a service provided by Amazon Web Services that turns text into lifelike speech. It allows developers to create applications that can speak in various languages and voices, enhancing user interaction and accessibility. Polly is commonly used in applications such as newsreaders, e-learning platforms, and voice-enabled IoT devices.
Identifying the Symptom: InvalidSnsTopicArnException
When integrating AWS Polly with other AWS services, you might encounter the InvalidSnsTopicArnException. This error typically occurs when you attempt to use an Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic ARN that is not valid. The error message will indicate that the specified SNS topic ARN is incorrect, preventing Polly from sending notifications to the intended SNS topic.
Exploring the Issue: Invalid SNS Topic ARN
The InvalidSnsTopicArnException is triggered when the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) provided for an SNS topic does not match the expected format or does not exist. An ARN is a unique identifier for AWS resources, and it must be correctly formatted to ensure proper communication between services. For more information on ARNs, refer to the AWS ARN and Namespaces documentation.
Common Causes
- Typographical errors in the ARN string.
- The SNS topic does not exist in the specified region.
- Incorrect permissions or policies associated with the SNS topic.
Steps to Resolve the InvalidSnsTopicArnException
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Step 1: Verify the SNS Topic ARN
Ensure that the ARN you are using is correct. The ARN format for an SNS topic is:
arn:aws:sns:::
Check for any typographical errors and confirm that the topic exists in the specified region. You can list your SNS topics using the AWS CLI:
aws sns list-topics --region
Step 2: Check Permissions
Ensure that the necessary permissions are in place for AWS Polly to publish to the SNS topic. You can modify the topic policy to allow access. Here is an example policy statement:
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": {
"Service": "polly.amazonaws.com"
},
"Action": "sns:Publish",
"Resource": "arn:aws:sns:::"
}
For more details on SNS policies, visit the AWS SNS Access Policy Use Cases page.
Step 3: Test the Configuration
After verifying the ARN and permissions, test the configuration by triggering a sample notification from AWS Polly to the SNS topic. This can be done through the AWS Management Console or using the AWS CLI.
Conclusion
By following the steps outlined above, you should be able to resolve the InvalidSnsTopicArnException and ensure seamless integration between AWS Polly and SNS. For further assistance, consider reaching out to AWS Support or exploring the AWS Developer Forums.
