Thanks a lot, I've been having a hell of a time trying to install gdal or rasterio as layers. This geolambda layer saves me the trouble.

Hi Franchyze923 - will you be making any more ArcPy tutorials? You are really good at teaching them, if not, where would you recommend someone go to build on your tutorials?

I am trying to add Layer via ARN. But this error appears: "Layers consume more than the available size of 262144000 bytes" . any work arround?

Thanks for the tutorial. I followed along but I am getting a deployment error due to the size of the lambda package. It seems to be breaking the lambda package size limit of 250mb, but seems to be working for you. Have the layers changed since this tutorial? Perhaps more packages? Thanks!

Thanks for share how to use it.
It's want so clear we need to add the tow layers.
I'm make the same steps like at this guide but get this error:

[ERROR] Runtime.ImportModuleError: Unable to import module 'lambda_function': libgdal.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):

Do you know why?
I have this file also from other working lambda with GDAL and I can supply it to the lambda via .zip deploy but not sure about the .zip structure.
At the other working lambda with GDAL it's found on the root folder and then we use

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/task

Can you guide me how to make a layer for a region which is not available right now. I tried different ways but could not succeed. I get error could not import gdal. It works well for existing regions. For new region i need to upload new deployment.zip as layers .. which is not working. Thanks in avance.
