|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
Our application needs to be able to send email to applicants for various
|
|
purposes including notifying them that their application has been submitted.
|
|
We need infrastructure for programmatically sending email. Amazon Web Services
|
|
(AWS) provides the Simple Email Service (SES) that can do that. CISA can
|
|
provide access to AWS SES for our application.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
To use AWS SES to provide programmatic email-sending capability.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
We will be dependent on a manual external process to provision and configure
|
|
our AWS resources through CISA. We already use external network egress for
|
|
Login.gov configuration, so there is no additional network configuration
|
|
needed to be able to access the external AWS SES service. We now have two
|
|
additional secret credentials to manage in our environment for accessing the
|
|
external AWS services.
