Amazon Lambda
The Amazon Lambda modules allow you to watch, invoke, list, and retrieve the functions, layers, and layer versions in your Amazon Lambda account.
Get Started with Amazon Lambda
Prerequisites:
Connect Amazon Lambda to Make
To connect your Amazon Lambda account to Make you need to obtain the API Key from your Amazon Lambda account and insert it in the Create a connection dialog in the Make module.
- Log in to your Amazon Lambda account.
Click your Account Name > My Security Credentials > Access keys (access key ID and secret access key) > Create New Access Key .
Click Show Access Key to display the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. Copy and save the provided keys in a safe place.
Go to Make and open the Amazon Lambda module's Create a connectio n dialog.
- In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.
- In the AWS Key and AWS Secret Key fields, enter the Access Key and Secret Access Key values provided in step 3 above.
- In the Region field, select your region and click Continue .
The connection has been established.
Assign Permissions in Your Lambda Account
For Amazon LAmda modules to work, you need to enable permissions in your AWS account.
- Log in to your AWS account.
In the Search Field, enter IAM and in the Features section, select the IAM.
Click Create policy .
