External services

This is a list of external services that you might need to setup your stack and some suggestions on how to easily create them.

SMTP Server

If you need to setup a SMTP service Amazon Simple Email Service can be used. Details how setup Amazon SES can be found here.

To correctly setup email notifications Gerrit requires ssl protocol on default port 465 to be enabled on SMTP Server. It is possible to setup Gerrit to talk to standard SMTP port 25 but by default all EC2 instances are blocking it. To enable port 25 please follow this link.
