Amazon SQS target

Sends events to Amazon SQS.

With tmctl:

tmctl create target awssqs --arn <arn> --awsApiKey <awsApiKey> --awsApiSecret <awsApiSecret>

On Kubernetes:

apiVersion: targets.triggermesh.io/v1alpha1
kind: AWSSQSTarget
metadata:
  name: triggermesh-aws-sqs
spec:
  arn: arn:aws:sqs:us-west-2:<PROJECT_ID>:cab-knative-event-test
  awsApiKey:
    secretKeyRef:
      name: aws
      key: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  awsApiSecret:
    secretKeyRef:
      name: aws
      key: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

There is an optional toggle flag indicating if the full CloudEvent should be sent to SQS. By default, this is disabled which means only the event payload will be sent.

Accepts events of any type.

Responds with events with the following attributes:

  • type io.triggermesh.targets.aws.sqs.result
  • source arn:aws:sqs:..., the SQS ARN value as configured by the target

You can test the Target by sending it an event using curl:

See the Kubernetes object reference for more details.

Prerequisite(s)

  • AWS API key and secret
  • ARN for the SQS queue to invoke
