AWS Lambda
Create function
Creates a Lambda function. To create a function, you need a deployment package and an execution role.

The name of the method within your code that Lambda calls to run your function. The format includes the file name. It can also include namespaces and other qualifiers, depending on the runtime. For more information, see Lambda programming model.
The name of the file as how it should be saved in the zip file. This will be reflected in the handler name.
An Amazon S3 bucket in the same Amazon Web Services Region as your function. The bucket can be in a different Amazon Web Services account.
The Amazon S3 key of the deployment package.
For versioned objects, the version of the deployment package object to use.
The name of the method within your code that Lambda calls to run your function. The format includes the file name. It can also include namespaces and other qualifiers, depending on the runtime. For more information, see Lambda programming model.

URI of a container image in the Amazon ECR registry.
Container image configuration values that override the values in the container image Dockerfile.
Specifies the entry point to their application, which is typically the location of the runtime executable.
Specifies parameters that you want to pass in with ENTRYPOINT.
Specifies the working directory.
A description of the function.
The amount of time (in seconds) that Lambda allows a function to run before stopping it. The default is 3 seconds. The maximum allowed value is 900 seconds. For more information, see Lambda execution environment.
default: 3
The amount of memory available to the function at runtime. Increasing the function memory also increases its CPU allocation. The default value is 128 MB. The value can be any multiple of 1 MB.
default: 128
Set to true to publish the first version of the function during creation.
For network connectivity to Amazon Web Services resources in a VPC, specify a list of security groups and subnets in the VPC. When you connect a function to a VPC, it can access resources and the internet only through that VPC. For more information, see Configuring a Lambda function to access resources in a VPC.
A list of VPC subnet IDs.
A list of VPC security group IDs.
Allows outbound IPv6 traffic on VPC functions that are connected to dual-stack subnets.
A dead-letter queue configuration that specifies the queue or topic where Lambda sends asynchronous events when they fail processing. For more information, see Dead-letter queues.
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Amazon SQS queue or Amazon SNS topic.
Environment variables that are accessible from function code during execution.
Environment variable key-value pairs. For more information, see Using Lambda environment variables.
The ARN of the Key Management Service (KMS) customer managed key that's used to encrypt your function's environment variables. When Lambda SnapStart is activated, Lambda also uses this key is to encrypt your function's snapshot. If you deploy your function using a container image, Lambda also uses this key to encrypt your function when it's deployed. Note that this is not the same key that's used to protect your container image in the Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR). If you don't provide a customer managed key, Lambda uses a default service key.
Set Mode to Active to sample and trace a subset of incoming requests with X-Ray.
A list of tags to apply to the function.
A list of function layers to add to the function's execution environment. Specify each layer by its ARN, including the version.

LocalMountPath [required]
The path where the function can access the file system, starting with /mnt/.
To enable code signing for this function, specify the ARN of a code-signing configuration. A code-signing configuration includes a set of signing profiles, which define the trusted publishers for this function.
The instruction set architecture that the function supports. The default value is x86_64.
Allowed enum values: x86_64,arm64
default: x86_64
The size of the function's /tmp directory in MB. The default value is 512, but can be any whole number between 512 and 10,240 MB. For more information, see Configuring ephemeral storage (console).
The size of the function's /tmp directory.
The function's SnapStart setting.
Set to PublishedVersions to create a snapshot of the initialized execution environment when you publish a function version.
The function's Amazon CloudWatch Logs configuration settings.
The format in which Lambda sends your function's application and system logs to CloudWatch. Select between plain text and structured JSON.
Set this property to filter the application logs for your function that Lambda sends to CloudWatch. Lambda only sends application logs at the selected level of detail and lower, where TRACE is the highest level and FATAL is the lowest.
Set this property to filter the system logs for your function that Lambda sends to CloudWatch. Lambda only sends system logs at the selected level of detail and lower, where DEBUG is the highest level and WARN is the lowest.
The name of the Amazon CloudWatch log group the function sends logs to. By default, Lambda functions send logs to a default log group named /aws/lambda/<function name>. To use a different log group, enter an existing log group or enter a new log group name.
