# Redshift Event Subscription

Redshift Event Subscription in AWS allows you to receive notifications about specific events occurring in your Amazon Redshift clusters, snapshots, security groups, or parameter groups. By creating a subscription, you can choose event categories and delivery options, such as sending notifications through Amazon SNS. This helps you stay informed about important changes, issues, or maintenance activities in your Redshift environment, enabling faster response and improved monitoring.
