AWS::Lambda::EventSourceMapping

The AWS::Lambda::EventSourceMapping resource creates a mapping between an event source and an AWS Lambda function. Lambda reads items from the event source and triggers the function.

For details about each event source type, see the following topics. In particular, each of the topics describes the required and optional parameters for the specific event source.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

Tags

A list of tags to add to the event source mapping.

Note

You must have the lambda:TagResource, lambda:UntagResource, and lambda:ListTags permissions for your IAM principal to manage the AWS CloudFormation stack.

Return values

Ref

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref function, Ref returns the mapping's ID.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.

Fn::GetAtt

The Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using the Fn::GetAtt intrinsic function, see Fn::GetAtt.
