A common pattern in event-driven architectures is exposing an HTTP endpoint that drops messages onto a queue for downstream processing. AWS API Gateway has a native integration with SQS that lets you do this without writing a Lambda. The gateway talks directly to the SQS service. This post walks through a Terraform configuration that provisions the entire infrastructure. This will support one or more Event-Driven Ansible rulesbooks using the builtin collection

This is part two to the previous post about customizing the Microsoft Fabric Assessment tool. See the previous post or my GitHub to fork the tool for your own use.
