Create Lambda Layers | Easily Add Python Dependencies to Lambda with AWS Layers

In this tutorial we cover how to add popular python packages like requests and beautifulsoup4 as dependencies to a Lambda using AWS Lambda layers. 1) We start by packaging are layer into a virtual enviorment 2) We upload the zipped folder to Lambda layers that has all the dependencies following the correct path 3) We then create a Lambda function and pick custom layer connecting the Lambda to out newly created layer. And that is it! For more info on packaging your layer for runtimes beyond Python I suggest having a look through the following documentation - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/la... 0:00 What are Lambda Layers? 2:15 Packaging our layer with terminal commands 4:30 Creating the Layer 6:00 Connecting Lambda with our Layer 8:30 Final Demo #aws #awslambda #awstutorialforbeginners #awstutorials #awstutorial
