如何在AWS实例上设置警报以在数据分析完成时通知我？

Question

I've got a sizable data set that I'd like to analyze in the cloud. Since server costs are high for the top tier AWS instances, I'd like to receive an alert — preferably by email — when the computation is complete.

I'm relatively new to working with AWS, so was wondering what the best way to do so may be. Appreciate the input!

You can send a message via Amazon SNS. You should be able to run shell commands from your Notebook.

To send an SMS message, use:

aws sns publish --phone-number +61123456789 --message 'Finished!'

To notify via other means:

• Create an Amazon SNS topic
• Subscribe to the topic using your preferred method (eg email)

Then, to send a message to the topic, which will then be forwarded to all subscribers:

aws sns publish --topic-arn XXX --subject 'Finished!' --message XXX
