Set up failure alerts
At NovaTech, when a pipeline fails at 2 AM, you need to know about it without watching the console. Use the pipeline notifications builder to configure event-driven alerts for your CI/CD pipeline.
The builder shows the flow: CodePipeline emits events to Amazon EventBridge, which routes them through rules to notification targets (email via SNS, Slack webhooks, or Lambda functions).
Explore which pipeline events are available (pipeline started, stage failed, action failed, pipeline succeeded) and configure rules that would alert your team to failures while filtering out routine success events.
Question: A production pipeline fails at 3 AM and nobody notices until the morning standup. Your team wants automatic failure alerts. Which combination of AWS services creates this notification flow?
