Goal

We want to provide a mechanism for receiving an email as notification as soon as specific events occur in the build process.

Define Notification Mechanism

• Open AWS SNS console
• Ensure you are in the correct region
• On the left, navigate to Topics
• Create topic of type "Standard"
• Write down the ARN of the topic. We might want to create 3 topics for flexibility.
  • arn:aws:sns:eu-central-1:499754002549:BuildFailed
  • arn:aws:sns:eu-central-1:499754002549:BuildSucceeded
  • arn:aws:sns:eu-central-1:499754002549:BuildTopic
• On the left, navigate to Subscriptions
• Create subscription
• Protocol: Select "email"
• Enter endpoint email address.
• Click "Create subscription"
• Read at the respective email address.
• Click "Confirm subscription"

Define Event Rules

• Open AWS CloudWatch console
• Ensure you are in the correct region
• On the left, navigate to Events->Rules
• Create Rule
  • Event Source: Event Pattern
  • Service Name: "CodeBuild"
  • Add Target:
    • SNS topic
    • Pick the topic just defined, for example for BuildTopic we could use:

  {"build-status":"$.detail.build-status","project-name":"$.detail.project-name","build-id":"$.detail.build-id"}
  "Build '<build-id>' for build project '<project-name>' has reached the build status of '<build-status>'."
