Lab Guide:  Introduction to AWS Lambda

Welcome to the Cloud Academy lab guide for Introduction to AWS Lambda.

The most common concern students report is that they are unable to create the lambda function. However, this error is caused by a misconfiguration in the deployment which results in the Cloud Academy security policies blocking your attempt.

Below, you'll find some extra steps to ensure you can create the lambda function:

1. Ensure that the lab environment has loaded 100% prior to starting the lab

2. Once you get to the next step, please ensure that when you create the function it follows the below requirements:

   1. Should be "author from scratch"

   2.   Name: MicrowaveReader

      1. Runtime: Node.js 14.X

      2. Permissions: Click Change default execution role

      3. Execution Role: Select Use an existing role

      4. Existing role: Select the role beginning with cloudacademylabs-LambdaExecutionRole

3. You should be able to successfully create the function now

4. The next step is to edit the code and deploy it:

5. This should let you pass the check for this step.

Make sure you selected the correct region and that all settings, values, and names are exactly as described in the instructions. Also, take a look at our Help Center article Troubleshooting Problems With Labs.
