AWS CodeCommit is a fully managed source control service that hosts secure Git-based repositories. It makes it easy for teams to collaborate on code in a secure and highly scalable ecosystem. CodeCommit eliminates the need to operate your own source control system or worry about scaling its infrastructure. You can use CodeCommit to securely store anything from source code to binaries, and it works seamlessly with your existing Git tools. This lab will consist of creating a new AWS CodeCommit repository and adding source control. We will use Amazon CloudWatch to listen for any new commit to our source code to trigger an email notification via AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS).
