Lambda Version Flashcards
What is a Lambda version?
A Lambda version is a specific, unchangeable copy of your Lambda function at a particular time. It includes all your code and settings just as they were when you made that version.
Example sentence: You can create a new Lambda version every time you make significant changes to your function.
Why use versions in Lambda?
Versions let you safely test new code and switch between different versions of your function easily. This helps manage updates and rollbacks without disrupting your service.
Additional information: Using Lambda versions can also help in tracking changes and understanding the impact of updates.
What is an alias in Lambda?
An alias is like a nickname for your Lambda version. You can use it to point to different versions without changing your function’s setup in other applications. It makes updating functions simpler and more flexible.
Example sentence: By using aliases, you can direct traffic to specific versions of your Lambda function based on different environments.
