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

Note

This module is part of the amazon.aws collection (version 9.1.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install amazon.aws. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: amazon.aws.lambda_event.

New in amazon.aws 5.0.0

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 amazon.aws.lambda to manage the lambda function itself and amazon.aws.lambda_alias to manage function aliases.

  • This module was originally added to community.aws in release 1.0.0.

Requirements

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

  • python >= 3.6

  • boto3 >= 1.28.0

  • botocore >= 1.31.0

For streams and Amazon SQS event sources, when source_params.batch_size is set to a value greater than 10, source_params.maximum_batching_window_in_seconds defaults to 1.

source_params.maximum_batching_window_in_seconds is not supported by FIFO queues.

version

integer

Version of the Lambda function.

Default: 0

Notes

Note

  • Caution: For modules, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘host’ context and not the ‘controller’ context. As such, files may need to be explicitly copied to the ‘host’. For lookup and connection plugins, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘controller’ context and not the ‘host’ context.

  • The AWS SDK (boto3) that Ansible uses may also read defaults for credentials and other settings, such as the region, from its configuration files in the Ansible ‘host’ context (typically ~/.aws/credentials). See https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html for more information.
