UPDATED - Create Your First AWS Lambda Function | AWS Tutorial for Beginners

UPDATED for the new Lambda console editor!
One of the most popular services on AWS is Lambda, which lets you run code in response to some event, without having to worry about the underlying servers.

In this video, I’ll provide a short overview of Lambda, its benefits, and why you would use it. Then in a hands-on tutorial, I’ll walk through how to create a Lambda function (in Python 3.9) that’s triggered by a file upload to an S3 bucket. Finally, I’ll show you how to delete the S3 bucket and the Lambda function.

Hi! I've seen lots of your videos to learn the basics of AWS, and they are great. Could you make a video explaining lambda layers? I've got difficulties importing numpy

[IhtishamKhattak-oivb]

Hi, I hope you're doing well. I'm currently preparing for the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam and would appreciate it if you could share the latest and most relevant study materials for the exam.
Additionally, I'm very eager to start offering freelance services on various platforms related to AWS Lambda. Could you please guide me on how much knowledge is required before creating a gig? Would this video be sufficient, or would it be better to have a complete video or playlist that covers all the key aspects of AWS Lambda? I’d be grateful if you could create or recommend such content.
