In this lab scenario, our QA team says they are not being properly notified each time there is a code commit to the source code repository. To remedy this, the DevOps team plans to use a trigger in CodeCommit to listen for any new commit to our source code to trigger an email notification via AWS Simple Notification Service (SNS) to the QA team.
