This module executes AWS Lambda functions, allowing synchronous and asynchronous invocation.


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

# Pass the Lambda event payload as a json file.
- execute_lambda:
    name: test-function
    payload: "{{ lookup('file','lambda_event.json') }}"

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. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
      environment variable, if any, is used. See U(http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region)
    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

ec2_url:
    aliases:
    - aws_endpoint_url
    - endpoint_url
    description:
    - URL to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will
      use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified
      for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL
      environment variable, if any, is used.
    type: str

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

profile:
    aliases:
    - aws_profile
    description:
    - Using I(profile) will override I(aws_access_key), I(aws_secret_key) and I(security_token)
      and support for passing them at the same time as I(profile) has been deprecated.
    - I(aws_access_key), I(aws_secret_key) and I(security_token) will be made mutually
      exclusive with I(profile) after 2022-06-01.
    type: str

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.
    type: bool

aws_config:
    description:
    - A dictionary to modify the botocore configuration.
    - Parameters can be found at U(https://botocore.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/config.html#botocore.config.Config).
