Create Customer Accounting Service Subscription

Now we are ready to configure the subscription for the customer accounting service:

1. Create a new subscription

After selecting the topic RideCompletionTopic, click the Create subscription button in the bottom right corner.

2. Configure the subscription

In the next page, select HTTP as the subscription protocol.

To look-up the subscription endpoint, navigate back to your CloudFormation console, select the stack wild-rydes-async-msg-1 and select the Outputs tab. Select the value, corresponding to the key CustomerAccountingServiceLBURL. It should look similar like http://caslb-...elb.amazonaws.com.
You can also look-up the value by running the following command:

aws cloudformation describe-stacks \
    --stack-name wild-rydes-async-msg-1 \
    --query 'Stacks[].Outputs[?OutputKey==`CustomerAccountingServiceLBURL`].OutputValue' \
    --output text

Click Create subscription to create the subscription.

3. Confirm the subscription

Amazon SNS require a confirmation of a subscription, before it publishes messages to that endpoint, as described here.
Our provided Customer Notification Service handles this automatically for us. The Status will change to Confirmed immediately (may refresh the page a couple of times). There is nothing to do for you in this step.

1. Update the AWS SAM template

In your Cloud9 IDE for this workshop, open the SAM template file wild-rydes-async-messaging/lab-1/template.yaml. In the Resources section, add the definition for the Amazon SNS subscription for the CustomerAccountingService. You can find the AWS CloudFormation documentation to do so here.

2. Deploy the updated AWS SAM template

Run the following command to build the lab again, after we have added the Amazon SNS subscription:

cd ~/environment/wild-rydes-async-messaging/lab-1
sam build

Now we are ready to update the application, by running the following command to deploy the change:

sam deploy \
    --guided \
    --stack-name wild-rydes-async-msg-1 \
    --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM

Confirm the first 4 proposed arguments by hitting ENTER. When you get asked SubmitRideCompletionFunction may not have authorization defined, Is this okay? [y/N]:, enter y and hit ENTER again 2 times.

Because AWS SAM will only deploy/update/delete resources which are changed, it only takes a couple of seconds to deploy the new Amazon SNS subscription.
