Lab Guide:  Introduction to AWS Lambda

Welcome to the QA lab guide for Introduction to AWS Lambda.

One of the most frequently reported issues by students is the inability to create the Lambda function. This problem typically stems from a deployment misconfiguration, which causes the QA security policies to block the creation attempt.

To help you avoid this issue, please follow the additional steps outlined below:

1. Ensure the lab environment has fully loaded (100%) before proceeding with any steps:

When you reach the step to create your Lambda function, please ensure the following configuration is used:

1. 1. 1. Select Author from scratch
      2. Name: MicrowaveReader

      3. Runtime: Node.js 22.x

      4. Permissions: Click Change default execution role

      5. Execution Role: Select Use an existing role

      6. Existing role: Select the role beginning with cloudacademylabs-LambdaExecutionRole

2. Following these steps should allow you to successfully create the function.

3. Once the function is created, proceed to edit the code and deploy it. This should enable you to pass the validation check for this step.

Make sure you selected the correct region and that all settings, values, and names are exactly as described in the instructions. Also, take a look at our Help Center article Troubleshooting Problems With Labs.
