LAB 19 (Create Announcement Subscription for Cloud Notifications)

Announcement Subscription for Cloud Notifications

In Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Announcement Subscription for Cloud Notifications is a way to ensure you and your team stay informed about important updates, advisories, and events in your tenancy. Let me break it down step by step in a practical way:

🔔 What It Is

OCI publishes announcements (e.g., service maintenance, outages, new features).

You can subscribe to these announcements using Cloud Notifications Service (ONS).

Notifications can be delivered via Email, Slack, PagerDuty, SMS, or custom HTTPS endpoints.

⚙️ How It Works

• Create a Topic

• In OCI Notifications, create a topic (e.g., Cloud Announcements).

• Subscribe to the Topic

• Add subscribers (email addresses, HTTPS endpoints, etc.).

• Each subscriber must confirm the subscription.

• Create an Announcement Subscription

• Link OCI Announcements service to your topic.

• Choose filters (e.g., only maintenance events, only specific regions).

• Receive Notifications

• Whenever OCI publishes an announcement, it is automatically pushed to your topic.

• Subscribers get notified in real time.
