If you are like most people, you are probably always looking for ways to automate tasks in your life. AWS Lambda is a service that can help you do just that. With Lambda, you can write code that is triggered by events in your life, such as an alarm going off or a new file being added to your Dropbox folder.
Lambda can be used to automate all sorts of tasks, but in this blog post, we will focus on how to use Lambda to automate tasks in your AWS account.
First, you will need to create a Lambda function. You can do this by going to the Lambda console and clicking on the “Create a Function” button.
Next, you will need to give your function a name and choose a runtime. For this example, we will use the Node.js 6.10 runtime.
Then, you will need to choose an event source. An event source is something that will trigger your Lambda function. For this example, we will use an Amazon S3 bucket.
Now, you will need to write your code. For this example, we will use the following code to print out the name of the S3 bucket that triggered the Lambda function.
console.log(‘Bucket: ‘ + event.Records[0].s3.bucket.name);
Finally, you will need to specify the IAM role that your Lambda function will use. This role will need permissions to access the S3 bucket that you are using as your event source.
Now that you have created your Lambda function, it is time to test it. You can do this by going to the Lambda console and clicking on the “Test” button.
When you click on the “Test” button, you will be prompted to choose an event. For this example, we will choose the “S3 Put” event.
After you have chosen your event, you will need to specify an event name and an event source. For this example, we will use the name “Test” and the S3 bucket that we created earlier as our event source.
Now that you have specified your event, you can click on the “Test” button to test your Lambda function.
If everything went well, you should see the following output in the Lambda console:
Bucket: my-bucket
Congratulations! You have successfully created a Lambda function that is triggered by an event in your AWS account.
