Governance and Security with AWS Lambda Functions

by Craig Arcuri

AWS Lambda functions need to comply with AWS standards for security and governance. This course will teach you how to configure Lambda functions with the appropriate levels of security and implement controls to govern those functions.

What you'll learn

AWS Lambda functions are software and require a software development skill set, but implementing these functions in a secure environment requires a separate set of skills. Additionally, these functions need to comply with governance guidelines set forth by your organization. In this course, Governance and Security with AWS Lambda Functions, you'll learn to safely and securely deploy Lambda functions that meet necessary governance guidelines. First, you’ll explore how to configure a Lambda Execution Role to define Lambda function permissions. Next, you will learn about Lambda policies, both attribute-based and resource-based roles for Lambda functions, and how to secure the data associated with your Lambda functions using security and encryption techniques. Finally, you'll learn about implementing governance controls for Lambda functions both proactively and reactively. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge needed to deploy secure Lambda functions that comply with the governance posture of your organization.
