Aws Lambda On Visual Studio

Create Visual Studio C-Sharp Project for AWS Lambda Function:-t perhaps intriguing, however, I am going to begin venture creation ventures without utilizing Visual Studio toward the start. With Visual Studio, you can install AWS's AWS.NET Mock Lambda Test Tool. Use the following command in the same directory as your Solution file: dotnet tool install -g Amazon.Lambda.TestTool-2.1 Visual Studio automatically adds a Debug configuration so you can debug the project just like you would any other.NET app.

The AWS Lambda Deployment adds a task to easily enable build or release pipelines in VSTS to work with AWS Lambda Functions. It is free and open source plugin!

The task include a new service endpoint type AWS, to supply AWS credentials to the tasks at runtime (If you have the AWS Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) plugin installed, you can use the already configured endpoints).

To work with AWS Lambda services an AWS subscription has to be linked to Visual Studio Team Services using the Services tab in the Account Administration section. Add the AWS subscription to use in the Build or Release Management definition by opening the Account Administration screen (gear icon on the top-right of the screen) and then click on the Services Tab.

Select the AWS endpoint type and provide the following paramters

  • A name used to refer to the credentials when configuring tasks that require AWS credentials (Like)
  • AWS Access Key ID
  • AWS Secret Access Key

The AWS Lambda subscription needs some extra grant to use all features of plugin

  • IAM:
    • iam:PassRole
  • VPC:
    • ec2:CreateNetworkInterface
    • ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces
    • ec2:DeleteNetworkInterface

Please refer to About Access Keys. Note that we strongly suggest the use of access and secret keys generated for an Identity and Access Management (IAM) user account.

Deploy Serveless Applications
