Functions
add_layer_version_permission(Client, LayerName, VersionNumber, Input)
Adds permissions to the resource-based policy of a version of an AWS Lambda layer. Use this action to grant layer usage permission to other accounts. You can grant permission to a single account, all AWS accounts, or all accounts in an organization.
To revoke permission, call RemoveLayerVersionPermission with the statement ID that you specified when you added it.add_layer_version_permission(Client, LayerName, VersionNumber, Input0, Options)
add_permission(Client, FunctionName, Input)
Grants an AWS service or another account permission to use a function. You can apply the policy at the function level, or specify a qualifier to restrict access to a single version or alias. If you use a qualifier, the invoker must use the full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of that version or alias to invoke the function.
To grant permission to another account, specify the account ID as the
Principal
. For AWS services, the principal is a domain-style
identifier defined by the service, like s3.amazonaws.com
or
sns.amazonaws.com
. For AWS services, you can also specify the
ARN of the associated resource as the SourceArn
. If you grant
permission to a service principal without specifying the source, other
accounts could potentially configure resources in their account to invoke
your Lambda function.
add_permission(Client, FunctionName, Input0, Options)
create_alias(Client, FunctionName, Input)
Creates an alias for a Lambda function version. Use aliases to provide clients with a function identifier that you can update to invoke a different version.
You can also map an alias to split invocation requests between two versions. Use theRoutingConfig
parameter to specify a second
version and the percentage of invocation requests that it receives.
create_alias(Client, FunctionName, Input0, Options)
create_event_source_mapping(Client, Input)
Creates a mapping between an event source and an AWS Lambda function. Lambda reads items from the event source and triggers the function.
For details about each event source type, see the following topics.
The following error handling options are only available for stream sources (DynamoDB and Kinesis):
BisectBatchOnFunctionError
- If the function returns an error, split the batch in two and retry.DestinationConfig
- Send discarded records to an Amazon SQS queue or Amazon SNS topic.MaximumRecordAgeInSeconds
- Discard records older than the specified age.MaximumRetryAttempts
- Discard records after the specified number of retries.ParallelizationFactor
- Process multiple batches from each shard concurrently.
create_event_source_mapping(Client, Input0, Options)
create_function(Client, Input)
Creates a Lambda function. To create a function, you need a deployment package and an execution role. The deployment package contains your function code. The execution role grants the function permission to use AWS services, such as Amazon CloudWatch Logs for log streaming and AWS X-Ray for request tracing.
When you create a function, Lambda provisions an instance of the function
and its supporting resources. If your function connects to a VPC, this
process can take a minute or so. During this time, you can't invoke or
modify the function. The State
, StateReason
, and
StateReasonCode
fields in the response from
GetFunctionConfiguration indicate when the function is ready to
invoke. For more information, see Function
States.
A function has an unpublished version, and can have published versions and
aliases. The unpublished version changes when you update your function's
code and configuration. A published version is a snapshot of your function
code and configuration that can't be changed. An alias is a named resource
that maps to a version, and can be changed to map to a different version.
Use the Publish
parameter to create version 1
of
your function from its initial configuration.
The other parameters let you configure version-specific and function-level settings. You can modify version-specific settings later with UpdateFunctionConfiguration. Function-level settings apply to both the unpublished and published versions of the function, and include tags (TagResource) and per-function concurrency limits (PutFunctionConcurrency).
If another account or an AWS service invokes your function, use AddPermission to grant permission by creating a resource-based IAM policy. You can grant permissions at the function level, on a version, or on an alias.
To invoke your function directly, use Invoke. To invoke your function in response to events in other AWS services, create an event source mapping (CreateEventSourceMapping), or configure a function trigger in the other service. For more information, see Invoking Functions.create_function(Client, Input0, Options)

invoke(Client, FunctionName, Input)
Invokes a Lambda function. You can invoke a function synchronously
(and wait for the response), or asynchronously. To invoke a function
asynchronously, set InvocationType
to Event
.
For synchronous invocation, details about the function response, including errors, are included in the response body and headers. For either invocation type, you can find more information in the execution log and trace.
When an error occurs, your function may be invoked multiple times. Retry behavior varies by error type, client, event source, and invocation type. For example, if you invoke a function asynchronously and it returns an error, Lambda executes the function up to two more times. For more information, see Retry Behavior.
For asynchronous invocation, Lambda adds events to a queue before sending them to your function. If your function does not have enough capacity to keep up with the queue, events may be lost. Occasionally, your function may receive the same event multiple times, even if no error occurs. To retain events that were not processed, configure your function with a dead-letter queue.
The status code in the API response doesn't reflect function errors. Error
codes are reserved for errors that prevent your function from executing,
such as permissions errors, limit
errors, or issues with your function's code and configuration. For
example, Lambda returns TooManyRequestsException
if executing
the function would cause you to exceed a concurrency limit at either the
account level (ConcurrentInvocationLimitExceeded
) or function
level (ReservedFunctionConcurrentInvocationLimitExceeded
).
For functions with a long timeout, your client might be disconnected during synchronous invocation while it waits for a response. Configure your HTTP client, SDK, firewall, proxy, or operating system to allow for long connections with timeout or keep-alive settings.
This operation requires permission for the lambda:InvokeFunction action.invoke(Client, FunctionName, Input0, Options)
invoke_async(Client, FunctionName, Input)

list_function_event_invoke_configs(Client, FunctionName)
Retrieves a list of configurations for asynchronous invocation for a function.
To configure options for asynchronous invocation, use PutFunctionEventInvokeConfig.list_function_event_invoke_configs(Client, FunctionName, Options)
list_functions(Client)
Returns a list of Lambda functions, with the version-specific configuration of each. Lambda returns up to 50 functions per call.
SetFunctionVersion

publish_layer_version(Client, LayerName, Input)
Creates an AWS
Lambda layer from a ZIP archive. Each time you call
PublishLayerVersion
with the same layer name, a new version
is created.
publish_layer_version(Client, LayerName, Input0, Options)
publish_version(Client, FunctionName, Input)
Creates a version from the current code and configuration of a function. Use versions to create a snapshot of your function code and configuration that doesn't change.
AWS Lambda doesn't publish a version if the function's configuration and code haven't changed since the last version. Use UpdateFunctionCode or UpdateFunctionConfiguration to update the function before publishing a version.
Clients can invoke versions directly or with an alias. To create an alias, use CreateAlias.publish_version(Client, FunctionName, Input0, Options)
put_function_concurrency(Client, FunctionName, Input)
Sets the maximum number of simultaneous executions for a function, and reserves capacity for that concurrency level.
Concurrency settings apply to the function as a whole, including all published versions and the unpublished version. Reserving concurrency both ensures that your function has capacity to process the specified number of events simultaneously, and prevents it from scaling beyond that level. Use GetFunction to see the current setting for a function.
Use GetAccountSettings to see your Regional concurrency limit. You can reserve concurrency for as many functions as you like, as long as you leave at least 100 simultaneous executions unreserved for functions that aren't configured with a per-function limit. For more information, see Managing Concurrency.put_function_concurrency(Client, FunctionName, Input0, Options)
put_function_event_invoke_config(Client, FunctionName, Input)
Configures options for asynchronous invocation on a function, version, or alias. If a configuration already exists for a function, version, or alias, this operation overwrites it. If you exclude any settings, they are removed. To set one option without affecting existing settings for other options, use UpdateFunctionEventInvokeConfig.
By default, Lambda retries an asynchronous invocation twice if the function returns an error. It retains events in a queue for up to six hours. When an event fails all processing attempts or stays in the asynchronous invocation queue for too long, Lambda discards it. To retain discarded events, configure a dead-letter queue with UpdateFunctionConfiguration.
To send an invocation record to a queue, topic, function, or event bus, specify a destination. You can configure separate destinations for successful invocations (on-success) and events that fail all processing attempts (on-failure). You can configure destinations in addition to or instead of a dead-letter queue.put_function_event_invoke_config(Client, FunctionName, Input0, Options)
put_provisioned_concurrency_config(Client, FunctionName, Input)

The following error handling options are only available for stream sources (DynamoDB and Kinesis):
BisectBatchOnFunctionError
- If the function returns an error, split the batch in two and retry.DestinationConfig
- Send discarded records to an Amazon SQS queue or Amazon SNS topic.MaximumRecordAgeInSeconds
- Discard records older than the specified age.MaximumRetryAttempts
- Discard records after the specified number of retries.ParallelizationFactor
- Process multiple batches from each shard concurrently.
update_event_source_mapping(Client, UUID, Input0, Options)
update_function_code(Client, FunctionName, Input)
Updates a Lambda function's code.
The function's code is locked when you publish a version. You can't modify the code of a published version, only the unpublished version.update_function_code(Client, FunctionName, Input0, Options)
update_function_configuration(Client, FunctionName, Input)
Modify the version-specific settings of a Lambda function.
When you update a function, Lambda provisions an instance of the function
and its supporting resources. If your function connects to a VPC, this
process can take a minute. During this time, you can't modify the
function, but you can still invoke it. The LastUpdateStatus
,
LastUpdateStatusReason
, and
LastUpdateStatusReasonCode
fields in the response from
GetFunctionConfiguration indicate when the update is complete and
the function is processing events with the new configuration. For more
information, see Function
States.
These settings can vary between versions of a function and are locked when you publish a version. You can't modify the configuration of a published version, only the unpublished version.
To configure function concurrency, use PutFunctionConcurrency. To grant invoke permissions to an account or AWS service, use AddPermission.update_function_configuration(Client, FunctionName, Input0, Options)
update_function_event_invoke_config(Client, FunctionName, Input)
