Requirements

Usage examples

  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
- execute_lambda:
    name: test-function
    # the payload is automatically serialized and sent to the function
    payload:
      foo: bar
      value: 8
  register: response
  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
# Test that you have sufficient permissions to execute a Lambda function in
# another account
- execute_lambda:
    function_arn: arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:123456789012:function/some-function
    dry_run: true
  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
- execute_lambda:
    name: test-function
    payload:
      foo: bar
      value: 8
    wait: true
    tail_log: true
  register: response
  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
  # the response will have a `logs` key that will contain a log (up to 4KB) of the function execution in Lambda.

    name: test-function
    version_qualifier: PRODUCTION

Inputs

    
name:
    description:
    - The name of the function to be invoked. This can only be used for invocations within
      the calling account. To invoke a function in another account, use I(function_arn)
      to specify the full ARN.

wait:
    default: 'yes'
    description:
    - Whether to wait for the function results or not. If I(wait) is C(no), the task will
      not return any results. To wait for the Lambda function to complete, set C(wait=yes)
      and the result will be available in the I(output) key.
    type: bool

region:
    aliases:
    - aws_region
    - ec2_region
    description:
    - The AWS region to use.
    - For global services such as IAM, Route53 and CloudFront, I(region) is ignored.
    - The C(AWS_REGION) or C(EC2_REGION) environment variables may also be used.
    - See the Amazon AWS documentation for more information U(http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region).
    - The C(ec2_region) alias has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after
      2024-12-01
    - Support for the C(EC2_REGION) environment variable has been deprecated and will
      be removed in a release after 2024-12-01.
    type: str

dry_run:
    default: 'no'
    description:
    - Do not *actually* invoke the function. A C(DryRun) call will check that the caller
      has permissions to call the function, especially for checking cross-account permissions.
    type: bool

payload:
    default: {}
    description:
    - A dictionary in any form to be provided as input to the Lambda function.

tail_log:
    default: 'no'
    description:
    - If C(tail_log=yes), the result of the task will include the last 4 KB of the CloudWatch
      log for the function execution. Log tailing only works if you use synchronous invocation
      C(wait=yes). This is usually used for development or testing Lambdas.
