Scheduling Amazon DynamoDB Backups with Lambda, Python, and Boto3

Linux Academy

A simple way to achieve this is to use an Amazon CloudWatch Events rule to trigger an AWS Lambda function daily. In this hands-on AWS lab, you will write a Lambda function in Python using the Boto3 library. Setting this up requires configuring an IAM role, setting a CloudWatch rule, and creating a Lambda function.

Search. Learn. Do: Linux Academy Has a Lab for That.

Linux Academy

Linux Academy provides you with a broad array of detailed courses that cover almost every possible subject. That’s why at Linux Academy, we designed our hands-on labs to be “independently consumable” What we mean by this is that you don’t have to take a course to be able to use and understand one of our hands-on labs.

Learning Lambda — Part 9

Mike Roberts

Scaling and State This is Part 9 of Learning Lambda, a tutorial series about engineering using AWS Lambda. So far in this series we’ve only been talking about processing a small number of events with Lambda, one after the other. Finally I mention Lambda’s limited, but not trivial, vertical scaling capability.
