Example deployment of an AWS Lambda function with Ansible

ansible-python-lambda

An example of deploying AWS Lambda functions with Ansible, for our blog post titled rather obviously “Deploying Amazon Lambda Functions with Ansible.”

Requirements

To run this, you will need:

• Python and a recent pip
• Ansible 2.0+ (pip install ansible)
• Boto, configured to work on your target AWS account (pip install boto)
• The AWS CLI (pip install awscli)

Usage

1. Make a new S3 bucket in your default boto region with versioning on, and update playbook.yml so the s3_bucket var has the correct bucket name, and aws_region with the region it is in, which is where the Lambda etc. will be created too.

2. Run ansible-playbook playbook.yml. It will create a Cloudformation stack in your AWS account called my-lambda-function that runs the example Lambda function every day at 08:00 UTC, logging "Hello World".

3. Play with it and use the code to get your own Lambda functions running!
