How to access the ARN of a copilot generated SNS topic in an ADDON?
Details:
I need to reference the ARN of a topic created for a workload using the standard Pub/Sub process.
I know copilot has the JOB workload type but that is a bit heavy for what I need. I am trying to setup
some very basic AWS EventBridge Scheduler tasks that will publish a simple generic message onto an SNS topic.
Various copilot workers will then subscribe to the topic and use subscription filters to identify jobs intended for each worker.
The first limitation I had was that this does not work if I MANUALLY create an SNS topic. I needed to create a DUMMY workload
just to generate the PUBLISH topic that the workers that then subscribe to in their manifests.
That is OK, I used a JOB that will simply run some ADMIN one-off tasks and also setup this SHARED scheduler SNS topic.
I am now trying to use an ADDON to manage the basic AWS EventBridge Scheduler tasks, but I need to reference
this SHARED scheduler SNS topic ARN from within my ADDON as shown below.
The problem is, the ARN of workload topics are not exported from the stack.
This is what the ADDON template contains:
18 UpdateVehicleLocationMetaData:
17 Type: AWS::Scheduler::Schedule
16 Properties:
15 Name: !Sub ${App}-${Env}-update-vehicle-location-metadata
14 Description: "Update related META-DATA index for the vehicle location index."
13 FlexibleTimeWindow:
12 Mode: OFF
11 ScheduleExpression: rate(1 minute)
10 State: ENABLED
9 Target:
8 Arn: <<<<< THIS IS WHAT i NEED >>>>>>
7 RoleArn:
6 Fn::ImportValue:
5 !Sub ${App}-${Env}-schedulerExecutionRoleArn
4 Input:
3 Fn::ToJsonString:
2 key1: "aaaa"
1 key2: "bbbb"
Observed result:
SNS Topic in a workloads cloudformation template does not export the ARN of the SNS topics.
Expected result:
There should be a way to instruct copilot to export details on any resource within the stack.
