AWS CloudFormation Resources Generated When AWS::Serverless::Function Is Specified

When an AWS::Serverless::Function is specified, AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) creates the AWS::Lambda::Function AWS CloudFormation resource.

AWS::Lambda::Function

LogicalId: <function‑LogicalId>

Referenceable property: N/A (you must use the LogicalId to reference this AWS CloudFormation resource)

In addition to this AWS CloudFormation resource, when AWS::Serverless::Function is specified, AWS SAM also generates AWS CloudFormation resources for the following scenarios.

AutoPublishAlias Property Is Specified

When the AutoPublishAlias property of an AWS::Serverless::Function is specified, AWS SAM generates the following AWS CloudFormation resources: AWS::Lambda::Alias and AWS::Lambda::Version.

AWS::Lambda::Alias

LogicalId: <function‑LogicalId>Alias<alias‑name>

<alias‑name> is the string that AutoPublishAlias is set to. For example, if you set AutoPublishAlias to live, the LogicalId is: MyFunctionAliaslive.

Referenceable property: <function‑LogicalId>.Alias

AWS::Lambda::Version

LogicalId: <function‑LogicalId>Version<sha>

<sha> is a unique hash value that is generated when the stack is created. For example, MyFunctionVersion926eeb5ff1.

Referenceable property: <function‑LogicalId>.Version

Role Property Is Not Specified

When the Role property of an AWS::Serverless::Function is not specified, AWS SAM generates the AWS::IAM::Role AWS CloudFormation resource.

AWS::IAM::Role

LogicalId: <function‑LogicalId>Role

Referenceable property: N/A (you must use the LogicalId to reference this AWS CloudFormation resource)

OnSuccess (or OnFailure) Property Is Specified for Amazon SNS Events

When the OnSuccess (or OnFailure) property of the DestinationConfig property of the EventInvokeConfig property of an AWS::Serverless::Function is specified, and the destination type is SNS but the destination ARN is not specified, AWS SAM generates the following AWS CloudFormation resources: AWS::Lambda::EventInvokeConfig and AWS::SNS::Topic.

AWS::Lambda::EventInvokeConfig

LogicalId: <function‑LogicalId>EventInvokeConfig

Referenceable property: N/A (you must use the LogicalId to reference this AWS CloudFormation resource)

AWS::SNS::Topic

LogicalId: <function‑LogicalId>OnSuccessTopic (or <function‑LogicalId>OnFailureTopic)

Referenceable property: <function‑LogicalId>.DestinationTopic

If both OnSuccess and OnFailure are specified for an Amazon SNS event, to distinguish between the generated resources, you must use the LogicalId.

OnSuccess (or OnFailure) Property Is Specified for Amazon SQS Events

When the OnSuccess (or OnFailure) property of the DestinationConfig property of the EventInvokeConfig property of an AWS::Serverless::Function is specified, and the destination type is SQS but the destination ARN is not specified, AWS SAM generates the following AWS CloudFormation resources: AWS::Lambda::EventInvokeConfig and AWS::SQS::Queue.

AWS::Lambda::EventInvokeConfig

LogicalId: <function‑LogicalId>EventInvokeConfig

Referenceable property: N/A (you must use the LogicalId to reference this AWS CloudFormation resource)

AWS::SQS::Queue

LogicalId: <function‑LogicalId>OnSuccessQueue (or <function‑LogicalId>OnFailureQueue)

Referenceable property: <function‑LogicalId>.DestinationQueue

If both OnSuccess and OnFailure are specified for an Amazon SQS event, to distinguish between the generated resources, you must use the LogicalId.
