Deploying Your First AWS Lambda Container

In this lab, you’ll deploy a sample application to AWS Lambda using a container image. You’ll use AWS Cloud9 as your cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) to create the sample application, test it locally, and upload the container image to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR). Finally, you’ll deploy it to AWS Lambda using the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM).
