In this hands-on AWS Lambda lab, you’ll deploy and test serverless functions in a live environment. To ensure optimal performance and fair usage for all participants, please adhere to the following guidelines.
An AWS client machine with the AWS CLI is pre-configured for you. Confirm your environment is set to us-east-1 before proceeding.

Usage Limits and Guidelines

If you exceed the timeout or memory cap, your function’s settings will revert to defaults (3 s timeout, 128 MB memory). Surpassing 300 invocations will automatically delete the Lambda function.

Quick-Start Checklist

  1. Verify your AWS CLI is working:
  2. Confirm region:
  3. When creating a new function, specify:
    • --timeout 10
    • --memory-size 512
  4. Monitor invocations:
The image outlines the instructions and fair usage policy for AWS Lambda labs, including details like a 60-minute lab session, US-EAST-1 region usage, and a maximum of 300 invocations.
