Methods

NameDescription
Public Method AddPermission(AddPermissionRequest) Adds a permission to the resource policy associated with the specified AWS Lambda function. You use resource policies to grant permissions to event sources that use push model. In a push model, event sources (such as Amazon S3 and custom applications) invoke your Lambda function. Each permission you add to the resource policy allows an event source, permission to invoke the Lambda function.

For information about the push model, see AWS Lambda: How it Works.

If you are using versioning, the permissions you add are specific to the Lambda function version or alias you specify in the AddPermission request via the Qualifier parameter. For more information about versioning, see AWS Lambda Function Versioning and Aliases.

This operation requires permission for the lambda:AddPermission action.

Public Method AddPermissionAsync(AddPermissionRequest, CancellationToken) Initiates the asynchronous execution of the AddPermission operation.
Public Method CreateAlias(CreateAliasRequest) Creates an alias that points to the specified Lambda function version. For more information, see Introduction to AWS Lambda Aliases. Alias names are unique for a given function.

This requires permission for the lambda:CreateAlias action.

Public Method CreateAliasAsync(CreateAliasRequest, CancellationToken) Initiates the asynchronous execution of the CreateAlias operation.
Public Method CreateEventSourceMapping(CreateEventSourceMappingRequest) Identifies a stream as an event source for a Lambda function. It can be either an Amazon Kinesis stream or an Amazon DynamoDB stream. AWS Lambda invokes the specified function when records are posted to the stream.

This association between a stream source and a Lambda function is called the event source mapping.

This event source mapping is relevant only in the AWS Lambda pull model, where AWS Lambda invokes the function. For more information, go to AWS Lambda: How it Works in the AWS Lambda Developer Guide.

You provide mapping information (for example, which stream to read from and which Lambda function to invoke) in the request body.

Each event source, such as an Amazon Kinesis or a DynamoDB stream, can be associated with multiple AWS Lambda function. A given Lambda function can be associated with multiple AWS event sources.

If you are using versioning, you can specify a specific function version or an alias via the function name parameter. For more information about versioning, see AWS Lambda Function Versioning and Aliases.

This operation requires permission for the lambda:CreateEventSourceMapping action.

Public Method CreateEventSourceMappingAsync(CreateEventSourceMappingRequest, CancellationToken) Initiates the asynchronous execution of the CreateEventSourceMapping operation.
Public Method CreateFunction(CreateFunctionRequest) Creates a new Lambda function. The function metadata is created from the request parameters, and the code for the function is provided by a .zip file in the request body. If the function name already exists, the operation will fail. Note that the function name is case-sensitive.

If you are using versioning, you can also publish a version of the Lambda function you are creating using the Publish parameter. For more information about versioning, see AWS Lambda Function Versioning and Aliases.

This operation requires permission for the lambda:CreateFunction action.

Public Method CreateFunctionAsync(CreateFunctionRequest, CancellationToken) Initiates the asynchronous execution of the CreateFunction operation.

To delete a specific function version, you must provide the function version via the Qualifier parameter. For information about function versioning, see AWS Lambda Function Versioning and Aliases.

When you delete a function the associated resource policy is also deleted. You will need to delete the event source mappings explicitly.
