Question

You are developing a function that will be hosted in AWS Lambda. The function will be developed in .Net. Several external libraries are needed for the code to run. Which of the following is the best practice when it comes to working with external dependencies for AWS Lambda?

A. Make sure that the dependencies are put in the root folder.

B. Selectively only include the libraries that are required.

C. Make sure the libraries are installed in the beginning of the function.

D. Place the entire SDK dependencies in Amazon S3.

Answer 1

B. Selectively only include the libraries that are required. This option suggests that only the necessary libraries should be included in the deployment package. This is a best practice because it reduces the size of the deployment package and minimizes the deployment time.
