Our application needs to be able to send email to applicants for various purposes including notifying them that their domain request 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.
To use AWS SES to provide programmatic email-sending capability.
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.
