The AWS Lambda Deployment adds a task to easily enable build or release pipelines in VSTS to work with AWS Lambda Functions. It is free and open source plugin!
Create new AWS Lambda functions locally on Visual Studio Code. Deploying your serverless applications using AWS SAM to your account using Visual Studio Code. The tutorial is broken down into two parts: 1) Setup Visual Studio Environment for Python and 2) Connecting and deploying to AWS from Visual Studio Code.
Aws Lambda Visual Studio Code
- The AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio includes AWS Lambda.NET Core project templates for Visual Studio. Use the templates to quickly develop and deploy.NET Core-based C# Lambda functions. NET Core is cross-platform, supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux, and can be used to develop device, cloud, and embedded applications.
- In this guide, you’re going to learn how to get started with AWS Lambda and, more specifically, learn how to set up your first AWS Lambda Python! Stay tuned to learn how Lambda functions work and how to apply your newfound Lambda knowledge by using the Boto3 AWS Python SDK to create a Lambda function and start an EC2 instance.
- This post describes all the necessary steps in order to build, run/debug locally, package and deploy AWS Lambda functions using Visual Studio Code. By the end of this post, you will be able to have a complete setup on your local computer where you can write code on Visual Studio Code, test it by step-through.
- One using the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio and the second one is, using AWS Console. For the purpose of this demo, we will use AWS Toolkit. Right-click on the project in solution explorer and click on Publish to AWS Lambda.
The task include a new service endpoint type AWS, to supply AWS credentials to the tasks at runtime (If you have the AWS Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) plugin installed, you can use the already configured endpoints).
Highlighted Features
Create an AWS Credentials Connection
To work with AWS Lambda services an AWS subscription has to be linked to Visual Studio Team Services using the Services tab in the Account Administration section. Add the AWS subscription to use in the Build or Release Management definition by opening the Account Administration screen (gear icon on the top-right of the screen) and then click on the Services Tab.
Select the AWS endpoint type and provide the following paramters
- A name used to refer to the credentials when configuring tasks that require AWS credentials (Like)
- AWS Access Key ID
- AWS Secret Access Key
The AWS Lambda subscription needs some extra grant to use all features of plugin
- IAM:
- iam:PassRole
- VPC:
- ec2:CreateNetworkInterface
- ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces
- ec2:DeleteNetworkInterface
Please refer to About Access Keys. Note that we strongly suggest the use of access and secret keys generated for an Identity and Access Management (IAM) user account.
Aws Lambda Visual Studio 2019
Deploy Serveless Applications
Create or update a Lambda Function. This mode only modifies the last version of the function ($LATEST). You can set an alias to invoke this version.
Publish a Version
Publish a new version of the Lambda Function, based on the state of the latest version ($LATEST). You can set an alias to invoke this version.
