Lambda : Layers - How to add pymysql module as your function layer?

In this video, I have talked about Lambda Layers which are zip archive file comprising of a custom runtime or additional dependency modules or binaries required by your function code. Layers can be shared across multiple functions. If you want to know more, please refer to this public document -

$ mkdir python
$ cd python
$ pip3 install pymysql -t .
$ cd ..
$ chmod -R 755 python/

The above commands holds true for function with python runtime and for packages that is supported in Amazon Linux environments. Then follow the steps as specified in the public documentation of layers either using CLI command or Web console.
