UPDATED - Create Your First AWS Lambda Function | AWS Tutorial for Beginners

Video Description

UPDATED for the new Lambda console editor! One of the most popular services on AWS is Lambda, which lets you run code in response to some event, without having to worry about the underlying servers. In this video, I’ll provide a short overview of Lambda, its benefits, and why you would use it. Then in a hands-on tutorial, I’ll walk through how to create a Lambda function (in Python 3.9) that’s triggered by a file upload to an S3 bucket. Finally, I’ll show you how to delete the S3 bucket and the Lambda function. 🌟***WHAT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW ALONG***🌟 • Python code for the Lambda function: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R9jO94MEjTy1ffb-TL4HOP1a_3ZIkwEU5lzLyEUGj5k/edit?usp=sharing 🌟***OTHER VIDEOS YOU MIGHT ENJOY***🌟 • S3 for Beginners: https://youtu.be/mDRoyPFJvlU • IAM for Beginners: https://youtu.be/iF9fs8Rw4Uo 🌟🌟If you’re interested in getting AWS certifications, check out these full courses.
