The AWS container plugin allows you to create, update, invoke, and delete Lambda functions using packages such as .zip files or container images.

important

You must set up a connection to the AWS server before adding AWS tasks. For more information, see Set up Connection to AWS Server.

note

In the release flow editor, Container tasks have a blue border.

AWS provides the following features:

• Create Function and Update Function using Image
• Create Function and Update Function using S3 zip
• Delete Function and Invoke Function
