Subcommands

NameDescription
add-layer-version-permissionAdds 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-permissionGrants 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. This action adds a statement to a resource-based permissions policy for the function. For more information about function policies, see Lambda Function Policies
create-aliasCreates 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 the RoutingConfig parameter to specify a second version and the percentage of invocation requests that it receives
create-code-signing-configCreates a code signing configuration. A code signing configuration defines a list of allowed signing profiles and defines the code-signing validation policy (action to be taken if deployment validation checks fail)
create-event-source-mappingCreates 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. Using AWS Lambda with Amazon DynamoDB Using AWS Lambda with Amazon Kinesis Using AWS Lambda with Amazon SQS Using AWS Lambda with Amazon MQ Using AWS Lambda with Amazon MSK Using AWS Lambda with Self-Managed Apache Kafka 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. The default value is infinite (-1). When set to infinite (-1), failed records are retried until the record expires MaximumRetryAttempts - Discard records after the specified number of retries. The default value is infinite (-1). When set to infinite (-1), failed records are retried until the record expires. ParallelizationFactor - Process multiple batches from each shard concurrently
create-functionCreates a Lambda function. To create a function, you need a deployment package and an execution role. The deployment package is a .zip file archive or container image that 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). You can use code signing if your deployment package is a .zip file archive. To enable code signing for this function, specify the ARN of a code-signing configuration. When a user attempts to deploy a code package with UpdateFunctionCode, Lambda checks that the code package has a valid signature from a trusted publisher. The code-signing configuration includes set set of signing profiles, which define the trusted publishers for this function. 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
delete-aliasDeletes a Lambda function alias
delete-code-signing-configDeletes the code signing configuration. You can delete the code signing configuration only if no function is using it
delete-event-source-mappingDeletes an event source mapping. You can get the identifier of a mapping from the output of ListEventSourceMappings. When you delete an event source mapping, it enters a Deleting state and might not be completely deleted for several seconds
delete-functionDeletes a Lambda function. To delete a specific function version, use the Qualifier parameter. Otherwise, all versions and aliases are deleted. To delete Lambda event source mappings that invoke a function, use DeleteEventSourceMapping. For AWS services and resources that invoke your function directly, delete the trigger in the service where you originally configured it
delete-function-code-signing-configRemoves the code signing configuration from the function
delete-function-concurrencyRemoves a concurrent execution limit from a function
delete-function-event-invoke-configDeletes the configuration for asynchronous invocation for a function, version, or alias. To configure options for asynchronous invocation, use PutFunctionEventInvokeConfig
delete-layer-versionDeletes a version of an AWS Lambda layer. Deleted versions can no longer be viewed or added to functions. To avoid breaking functions, a copy of the version remains in Lambda until no functions refer to it
delete-provisioned-concurrency-configDeletes the provisioned concurrency configuration for a function

invokeInvokes 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-asyncFor asynchronous function invocation, use Invoke. Invokes a function asynchronously
list-aliasesReturns a list of aliases for a Lambda function
list-code-signing-configsReturns a list of code signing configurations. A request returns up to 10,000 configurations per call. You can use the MaxItems parameter to return fewer configurations per call
list-event-source-mappingsLists event source mappings. Specify an EventSourceArn to only show event source mappings for a single event source
list-function-event-invoke-configsRetrieves a list of configurations for asynchronous invocation for a function. To configure options for asynchronous invocation, use PutFunctionEventInvokeConfig
list-functionsReturns a list of Lambda functions, with the version-specific configuration of each. Lambda returns up to 50 functions per call. Set FunctionVersion to ALL to include all published versions of each function in addition to the unpublished version. The ListFunctions action returns a subset of the FunctionConfiguration fields. To get the additional fields (State, StateReasonCode, StateReason, LastUpdateStatus, LastUpdateStatusReason, LastUpdateStatusReasonCode) for a function or version, use GetFunction
list-functions-by-code-signing-configList the functions that use the specified code signing configuration. You can use this method prior to deleting a code signing configuration, to verify that no functions are using it
list-layer-versionsLists the versions of an AWS Lambda layer. Versions that have been deleted aren't listed. Specify a runtime identifier to list only versions that indicate that they're compatible with that runtime
list-layersLists AWS Lambda layers and shows information about the latest version of each. Specify a runtime identifier to list only layers that indicate that they're compatible with that runtime
list-provisioned-concurrency-configsRetrieves a list of provisioned concurrency configurations for a function
list-tagsReturns a function's tags. You can also view tags with GetFunction
list-versions-by-functionReturns a list of versions, with the version-specific configuration of each. Lambda returns up to 50 versions per call
publish-layer-versionCreates an AWS Lambda layer from a ZIP archive. Each time you call PublishLayerVersion with the same layer name, a new version is created. Add layers to your function with CreateFunction or UpdateFunctionConfiguration
publish-versionCreates 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
put-function-code-signing-configUpdate the code signing configuration for the function. Changes to the code signing configuration take effect the next time a user tries to deploy a code package to the function
put-function-concurrencySets 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-event-invoke-configConfigures 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-provisioned-concurrency-configAdds a provisioned concurrency configuration to a function's alias or version
remove-layer-version-permissionRemoves a statement from the permissions policy for a version of an AWS Lambda layer. For more information, see AddLayerVersionPermission
remove-permissionRevokes function-use permission from an AWS service or another account. You can get the ID of the statement from the output of GetPolicy
tag-resourceAdds tags to a function
untag-resourceRemoves tags from a function
update-aliasUpdates the configuration of a Lambda function alias
update-code-signing-configUpdate the code signing configuration. Changes to the code signing configuration take effect the next time a user tries to deploy a code package to the function
update-event-source-mappingUpdates an event source mapping. You can change the function that AWS Lambda invokes, or pause invocation and resume later from the same location. 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. The default value is infinite (-1). When set to infinite (-1), failed records are retried until the record expires MaximumRetryAttempts - Discard records after the specified number of retries. The default value is infinite (-1). When set to infinite (-1), failed records are retried until the record expires. ParallelizationFactor - Process multiple batches from each shard concurrently
update-function-codeUpdates a Lambda function's code. If code signing is enabled for the function, the code package must be signed by a trusted publisher. For more information, see Configuring code signing. 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. For a function defined as a container image, Lambda resolves the image tag to an image digest. In Amazon ECR, if you update the image tag to a new image, Lambda does not automatically update the function
update-function-configurationModify 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-event-invoke-configUpdates the configuration for asynchronous invocation for a function, version, or alias. To configure options for asynchronous invocation, use PutFunctionEventInvokeConfig
waitWait until a particular condition is satisfied. Each subcommand polls an API until the listed requirement is met
