To create an SNS topic

The following create-topic example creates an SNS topic named my-topic.

aws sns create-topic \
    --name my-topic

Output:

{
    "ResponseMetadata": {
        "RequestId": "1469e8d7-1642-564e-b85d-a19b4b341f83"
    },
    "TopicArn": "arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:my-topic"
}
