What is AWS User Notifications?

AWS User Notifications is an AWS service that provides a central location for managing your AWS notifications. There are two types of AWS notifications you can manage using User Notifications:

You can receive notifications for through multiple channels, including the Console Notification Center (default), email, Amazon Q Developer in chat applications, AWS Console Mobile App push notifications, or the User Notifications API.

You can use User Notifications to filter and view AWS notifications to your specifications. You can filter your notifications by service and view them across accounts, AWS Regions, and services. Notifications include a detailed overview with direct links to relevant console resource pages.

How User Notifications works

For AWS managed notifications, User Notifications integrates with AWS services such as AWS Health, AWS Marketplace, and AWS Billing and Cost Management to send notifications to the AWS Management Console Notifications Center and your chosen delivery channels.

For UCNs, User Notifications uses Amazon EventBridge to send notifications about events from AWS services to the AWS Management Console Notifications Center and your chosen delivery channels.

Sign up for an AWS account

To get started with AWS, you need an AWS account. There are two ways to sign up for AWS. If you want complete control over account configuration and where your content is stored, or if you have regulated workloads such as HIPAA or FedRAMP, use Sign up for AWS (advanced). If you are a new user and want to use a login you already own to sign in to AWS and create an AWS environment with preconfigured defaults in select AWS Regions, use Sign up for AWS.

Accessing User Notifications

You can access User Notifications through the AWS Management Console.
