AWS CodeDeploy Triggers running custom script

Question

I believe AWS CodeDeploy Triggers only supports SNS notifications (currently). Is it possible to hook into the events, i.e. DEPLOYMENT_FAILURE, to run a custom bash/batch/ps script?

Motivation is to provide slack notifications of success/failure in one of our dev channels.

Answer 1

For your specific use case you should use a Lambda function. Amazon provides blueprints for Lambda functions that post to Slack, and you can subscribe Lambda functions to an SNS topic.
