[Deploy Lambda] Aliases

[DaMaillard]

Could you add the possibility, in deploying a lambda, of handling aliases ? (cf http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/aliases-intro.html )

It's missing for the moment (or may be I missed it ?) and would be very useful !

Aliasing lambdas is a super great feature that I've been utilizing to keep separation of "development" lambdas & "production" lambdas.

I've been working around the lack of alias arguments by using my own script deployment.

ETA?

Would love this too.

In the meantime here's my workaround, for setting a specific alias to the version just deployed (you'll need to set LAMBDA_NAME and LAMBDA_ALIAS accordingly, and this also assumes your AWS config is already available via AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and AWS_DEFAULT_REGION):

after_deploy:

  # Set a Lambda alias to the most recently deployed version.
  - pip install awscli --upgrade --user
  - export MOST_RECENT=$(aws lambda list-versions-by-function --function "${LAMBDA_NAME}" --max-items 10000 | node -e "let stdin=''; process.stdin.on('data',(chunk)=>{stdin+=chunk}).on('end',()=>{console.log(JSON.parse(stdin).Versions.pop().Version)})")
  - aws lambda update-alias --function-name "${LAMBDA_NAME}" --name "${LAMBDA_ALIAS}" --function-version "${MOST_RECENT}"

@stale Hello?

[svenfuchs]

@DaMaillard @MaxwellGBrown @carlthome @tdmalone I'd like to take a shot at this in dpl v2. however, i could use some guidance on how exactly this feature needs to work. could you elaborate on when the alias/es would need to be created and/or updated with what details?
