Have a website hosted on Amazon Web Services and I want to run a bash script to automatically build my github project when changes are pushed to the repository. How can my aws linux server detect when my repository is pushed to?
You can use GitHub's Webhooks:
Every GitHub repository has the option to communicate with a web server whenever the repository is pushed to. These “webhooks” can be used to update an external issue tracker, trigger CI builds, update a backup mirror, or even deploy to your production server.
The github-services project supports a large number of popular services out of the box.
Alternatively, you can use Webhooks yourself to configure an HTTP message to be sent to an arbitrary endpoint when a given event occurs. You would need to configure a service that listens for and responds to GitHub's message on your endpoint.
You can register a webhook on your GitHub repo in order to trigger a message to your aws server.
But, as mentioned in "Sync the local code to Amazon server through GitHub webhook", that means you have a listener on that AWS server which would listen to such a message.

I'd like to know if I can use my git repository for AWS console ? In fact i made a rails project on AWS console but I did not find as to how to transfer it on to my Github repository
You can use AWS Cloud and Github through
Custom Webhooks: Where you have your code store in github and serve through AWS services like EC2, Lambda, etc.
AWS Code Pipeline with Code Commit: The AWS code commit service can be configure to listen to github webhook requests, from there you can trigger events when the webhook is received e.g. Build, tests, deploy
Reference:
I'm working with an on-premise older version of BitBucket Server v5.15.1 that does not have the Bitbucket Pipelines feature and I need how to get the webhooks to notify AWS Lambda via HTTPS POST via AWS API Gateway after a commit is made to master branch...then Lambda downloads a copy of the repo, zips it up and places it into an S3 bucket...and of course this is where CodePipeline can finally be triggered...But I'm having issues getting this on-premise BitBucket Server located within my AWS account to connect its webhook to Lambda.
I tried following this documentation below and launched the CloudFormation template with all the needed resources but I'm assuming it is for BitBucket Cloud not Bitbucket Server OP.

Anyones help with this would be really appreciated.
I suppose you are following this below blog from AWS :
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/integrating-codepipeline-with-on-premises-bitbucket-server/
We had also implemented it. If the event is coming to Lambda, then make sure your Lambda is within a VPC and it has correct outbound(read as inbound) rules to connect the Bitbucket server over HTTPS. Also the Bitbucket server accepts the VPC IP range.
I have an existing mobile app that can receive push notifications and I have an existing backend application that exposes an API for sending notifications to the app. The backend application uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), so it could be considered a wrapper around FCM. My backend application uses the Firebase Admin SDK to create messages and send them to Firebase. My customers hit an API exposed by my backend application (so, if we assume that the customer is using Postman, then the flow for sending a message is: Postman->My backend application->Firebase->Mobile app).
Until now I have been running my backend application on a local server, and it works fine. But now I need to deploy this on AWS. My question is: is it necessary to use Amazon SNS or not? I don't really need any additional functionality from AWS, I just want AWS to permit the required communication.
For example, I dont need to go to an AWS interface to enter the token to send messages to my phone. I already have an API exposed through my backend for sending messages. So, should I even bother to set up SNS?
I know that at a minimum I will have to make my firebase project google credentials available to my instance on AWS (in a file located at the path specified using GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS). What other configuration steps would be needed? Thanks a lot.
After some investigation I found that it is not necessary to use Amazon SNS to achieve what I wanted to achieve.
I was able to deploy my server application (which uses Firebase Cloud Message) to AWS, and the messages arrive on the mobile phones without any problem.
I initialized my backend application using the steps described on the Google Firebase site: https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup
I have a Java web project(a simple RESTful service)deployed on Tomcat server on AWS beanstalk. I would like to run a few test cases to do the sanity check after the project is up. It seems you could only get an email from SNS but I need an HTTP call to invoke my test instance.
I appreciate your help.
Take a look at the hooks in the dir
/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/post/
You can create a new one with the check and upload it there using .ebextensions dir
I have a java web application running on Tomcat deployed on an EC2 instance. Is there any way I can monitor/set alarms for when the web application goes down or stops responding? Essentially what I would like to do is to check if a HTTP request to the web app responds with status 200. If it does not respond with 200 (for a few times) then it should raise an alarm and send an e-mail to some ops people.
I know there are third party options like Nagois / uptimerobot that I could use but I wanted to know if there are any AWS offerings for this? Is it possible to set up such automated monitoring using AWS Cloud Watch? I could not find a way to do this based on what I read up about Cloud Watch. If this isn't the sort of thing Cloud Watch can handle, then is there another AWS service suited for this?
I think Port Monitoring Feature is available under AWS Beanstalk.
You can consider checking this http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features.healthstatus.html
Ashutosh,
Ec2 is an IAAS service from AWS and you will not have an AWS offering to monitor your Tomcat server. However, you have custom-built solutions, which I think you are not looking for here.
However, if you are using an Application Load balancer or Beanstalk you get options to trigger alarms.
Yes , you can achieve it through a cloudwatch . collect your logs with a cloudwatch agent and upload it on cloudwatch logstream. below is the reference url for configuring cloudwatch agent.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/Install-CloudWatch-Agent.html
After that with "create matrix filter" you can set up an email trigger as per your requirements.
