Step 1: Sign in to AWS Console

  1. Open your web browser and go to the AWS Management Console.
  2. Sign in to your AWS account.

Step 2: Navigate to AWS Lambda Service

  1. Once logged in, navigate to the AWS Lambda service by either searching for "Lambda" in the AWS services search bar or by selecting it from the list of services.

Step 3: Create a Lambda Function

  1. Click on the "Create function" button.
  2. Choose an authoring option - you can either author from scratch or use a blueprint.
  3. Choose a runtime environment. Lambda supports several programming languages including Python, Node.js, Java, etc.
  4. Give your function a name and optionally, a description.
  5. Set up the execution role. This role defines the AWS resources the function can access. You can create a new role or choose an existing one.
  6. Click on the "Create function" button.

Step 4: Write Your Function Code

  1. In the Lambda function editor, write your function code.
  2. You can also upload a .zip file if your function code has multiple files or dependencies.

Step 5: Deploy Your Function

  1. Once your function is configured, click on the "Deploy" button to deploy it to AWS Lambda.
  2. AWS Lambda will now provision resources to run your function.

Step 6: Test Your Function

  1. After deployment, you can test your Lambda function using the AWS Lambda console.
  2. Click on the "Test" button.
  3. Create a new test event or choose an existing one.
  4. Click on the "Test" button again to invoke your Lambda function with the test event.
  5. Review the results to ensure your function behaves as expected.
