Configuring Lambda function with the AWS CLI

Let's configure our hello world Lambda function and triggers using the awscli utility command.

The AWS CLI supports all available AWS services. You can see a detailed description of the aws command using aws help and it will also list all the available services.

We are interested in Lambda, as we are going to create a Lambda function with a simple hello world context:

$ aws lambda help  

This will list a complete description of the Lambda service and all the available commands that are required to manage the AWS Lambda service.
