Provision AWS S3 bucket for Lambda code
CloudFormation template deploys AWS Lambda functions code, which is stored in a folder inside an S3 bucket. You can either use an existing bucket or a new one can be provisioned.
- Search for S3 in the AWS console.
- Once you get the search result, select S3 from the drop-down list.
- On the S3 page, select Create new Bucket (or use an existing bucket if you have already created one).
- Create a folder named Lambda-Functions (case specific) either in the newly created bucket, or in the existing one.
- Within the Lambda-Functions folder, create another folder named config-smc (case specific).
You need to upload the code for AWS Lambda function in this location. Save the name of the bucket in your local drive for future reference.
