This blog post will show you how to integrate the AWS Lambda functions with Spinnaker via Clouddriver (Spinnaker microservice responsible for making API calls to AWS). What is an AWS Lambda function? AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs your code in response to events only when needed and scales automatically, without needing you to provision or manage servers in AWS. It automatically manages operational and administrative activities for the underlying compute resources on your behalf, including provisioning capacity, monitoring fleet health, applying security patches, deploying your code, and monitoring and logging your Lambda functions. An AWS Lambda application is a combination of Lambda functions, event sources, and other resources that work together to perform tasks. Users can use the Spinnaker UI to register a Lambda function as a target type for a target group of an Application Load Balancer (ALB)!
