How do you securely route github webhooks into a privately hosted jenkins on AWS? – Amazon web services

I was going to use the suggestion of Joanale but ended up with a solution that used a Lambda to pass on the request to the Jenkins server. Similar solution.

Something like this:

def handler(event, context):
    try:
        event["headers"]["host"] = urlparse(JENKINS_URL).netloc
        logger.info(f"Received event: {json.dumps(event, indent=2)}")
        requests.post(JENKINS_GITHUB_WEBHOOK_URL, data=event["body"], headers=event["headers"])
        return build_response(200, 'Successful')
    except Exception as e:
        logger.error(e)
        return build_response(500, 'Failed')


def build_response(status_code, message):
    return {
        "statusCode": status_code,
        "body": message,
        "headers": {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
        },
    }
