Abstract - This study portrays the deployment of a monitoring and alert system intended to identify and notify instances of downtime or unavailability of a Bit-bucket instance hosted on an Amazon Web Service (AWS) EC2 instance. The system utilizes Jenkins, an open-source automation application, and a Python script to continuously monitor the accessibility of the Bitbucket URL. In circumstances when the URL will not be accessible, the Python Script initiates email notifications to a predetermined group of recipients, informing them of potential service interruptions. The implementation specifics around the usage of AWS EC2 Ubuntu Linux Instance, the installation and setup of Bitbucket, the creation of a Security group, the configuration of Jenkins on a local Windows host, and the use of a Python Script for monitoring and automation. The study reveals the efficiency of the above system through testing scenarios, constraints, and potential improvements. Through the integration of this proactive monitoring and notification mechanism, the study seeks to improve the dependability and accessibility of cloud-based web applications, enhancing a smooth user experience and lessening the impact of approaches for cloud-based services.
