# Networking & content delivery services
Networking & content delivery

The following table describes how Amazon SNS integrates with Amazon networking and content delivery services, such as Amazon API Gateway, Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Direct Connect, Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon Route 53, and Amazon VPC, to send notifications for events like API messages, CloudFront metric alarms, connection state changes, load balancer events, health check statuses, and VPC endpoint activities. 

These integrations help you to monitor and manage your network and content delivery operations by providing timely alerts and updates.


| Amazon Web Services service | Benefit of using with Amazon SNS | 
| --- | --- | 
|  [Amazon API Gateway](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/apigateway/latest/developerguide/welcome.html) – Enables you to create and deploy your own REST and WebSocket APIs at any scale.  |  Receive messages posted to an API Gateway endpoint. For more information, see [Tutorial: Build an API Gateway REST API with Amazon integration](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/apigateway/latest/developerguide/getting-started-aws-proxy.html) in the *API Gateway Developer Guide*.  | 
|  [Amazon CloudFront](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/Introduction.html) – Speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content, such as .html, .css, .php, image, and media files.  |  Receive notifications when alarms based on specified CloudFront metrics occur. For more information, see [Setting alarms to receive notifications](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/receiving-notifications.html) in the *Amazon CloudFront Developer Guide*.  | 
|  [Amazon Direct Connect](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/directconnect/latest/UserGuide/Welcome.html) – Links your internal network to an Amazon Direct Connect location over a standard Ethernet fiber-optic cable.  |  Receive notifications when alarms that monitor the state of an Amazon Direct Connect connection change state. For more information, see [Creating CloudWatch alarms to monitor Amazon Direct Connect connections](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/directconnect/latest/UserGuide/monitoring-cloudwatch.html#creating-alarms) in the *Amazon Direct Connect User Guide*.  | 
|  [Elastic Load Balancing](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/elasticloadbalancing/latest/classic/welcome.html) – Automatically distributes your incoming traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses, in more or more Availability Zones.  |  Receive notifications of alarms you've created for load balancer events. For more information, see [Create CloudWatch alarms for your load balancer](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/elasticloadbalancing/latest/classic/elb-cloudwatch-metrics.html#create_cw_alarms) in the *User Guide for Classic Load Balancers*.  | 
|  [Amazon Route 53](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/Welcome.html) – Provides domain registration, DNS routing, and health checking.  |  Receive notifications when health check status is unhealthy. For more information, see [To receive an Amazon SNS notification when a health check status is unhealthy (console)](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/monitoring-health-checks.html#monitoring-sns-notification-procedure) in the *Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide*.  | 
|  [Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/vpc/latest/userguide/what-is-amazon-vpc.html) – Enables you to launch Amazon resources into a virtual network that you've defined.  |  Receive notifications for specific events that occur on interface endpoints. For more information, see [Create and manage a notification for an endpoint service](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/vpc/latest/userguide/create-notification-endpoint-service.html) in the *Amazon VPC User Guide*.  |
