lambda_event – Creates, updates or deletes AWS Lambda function event mappings.

New in version 2.2.

Synopsis

  • This module allows the management of AWS Lambda function event source mappings such as DynamoDB and Kinesis stream events via the Ansible framework. These event source mappings are relevant only in the AWS Lambda pull model, where AWS Lambda invokes the function. It is idempotent and supports “Check” mode. Use module lambda to manage the lambda function itself and lambda_alias to manage function aliases.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • boto
  • boto3
  • python >= 2.6

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
alias
- / required
Name of the function alias. Mutually exclusive with version.
aws_access_key
-
AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used.

aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_secret_key
-
AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used.

aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
ec2_url
-
Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
event_source
-
    Choices:
  • stream ←
  • sqs
Source of the event that triggers the lambda function.
For DynamoDB and Kinesis events, select 'stream'
For SQS queues, select 'sqs'
lambda_function_arn
- / required
The name or ARN of the lambda function.

aliases: function_name, function_arn
profile
-
added in 1.6
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
region
-
The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region

aliases: aws_region, ec2_region
security_token
-
added in 1.6
AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used.

aliases: access_token
source_params
- / required
Sub-parameters required for event source.
== stream event source ==
source_arn The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Kinesis or DynamoDB stream that is the event source.
enabled Indicates whether AWS Lambda should begin polling the event source. Default is True.
batch_size The largest number of records that AWS Lambda will retrieve from your event source at the time of invoking your function. Default is 100.
starting_position The position in the stream where AWS Lambda should start reading. Choices are TRIM_HORIZON or LATEST.
== sqs event source ==
source_arn The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the SQS queue to read events from.
enabled Indicates whether AWS Lambda should begin reading from the event source. Default is True.
batch_size The largest number of records that AWS Lambda will retrieve from your event source at the time of invoking your function. Default is 100.
state
- / required
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Describes the desired state.
validate_certs
boolean
added in 1.5
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
version
-
Version of the Lambda function. Mutually exclusive with alias.

Notes

Note

  • If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
  • Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
  • AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
