The AWS::Lambda::Function resource creates a Lambda function. To create a function, you need a deployment package and an execution role.The deployment package contains your function code. The execution role grants the function permission to use AWS services, such as Amazon CloudWatch Logs for log streaming and AWS X-Ray for request tracing. GIF TUTORIAL (with and without Vapoursynth) In this tutorial I’m gonna go, step by step, through the process of how to create this gif I’m going to try to be as clear as possible but if you don’t understand something or have trouble going through one of the steps, please feel free to ask me anything you want!

All tutorials

  • > Main gif tutorial
    In this tutorial you are explained from A to Z how to make a gif. While this tutorial does not go into the steps in a detailed manner, per section it will have links available which can be used to find a more detailed tutorial I wrote on it.
  • > Setting up Photoshop
    Are you new to Photoshop or have you never put too much thought into setting it up just for gifmaking? Do you want to improve the performance of the software so that everything works faster and smoother? This is the tutorial for you! We explore the general preferences for Photoshop that suit gifmaking most and look how we can easily set up our interface.
  • > Converting video files
    Before you can import something to Photoshop, you need to make it a short MP4 file. In this tutorial we talk about how to use converting software and efficiently import files into Photoshop.
  • > Colouring pastels
    This tutorial is an exploration of colour theory with a focus on how to properly execute pastels. It goes into how certain colours will or will not work for certain scenes and how to generally edit a colour scheme from scratch. While it focuses on pastels, the theory discussed is applicable to everything!
  • > Sharpening gifs
    What does sharpening do? How does it work, what settings do you use? How do you get those smooth lines and how far should you go with sharpening? What does everything even mean. Let’s find out!

  • > Removing panning from gifs
    You ever find yourself with a scene that would look wonderful if there were no camera movements going from one side to another? In this tutorial I explain exactly how to get rid of it.
  • > Reducing filesize
    Tumblr requires gifs to be under 3MB in filesize. Sometimes your gifs will be bigger than that and you’ll have to reduce the file size. In this tutorial I go over several options you have to reduce the filesize without really affecting the quality too much.
  • > Creating and using actions
    Actions are recorded steps you take in Photoshop which you can then execute on different files. Especially in gifmaking this can shorten your process by a lot. In this tutorial we look how to make and use actions of our own.
  • > Save for web explained
    Gifs aren’t saved the same way other pictures are saved in Photoshop. You need to go through the save for web option. But how exactly does this all work? What is everything you see in save for web and how to do you get optimal saving results?
  • > Making a gif loop
    You want a gif that never ends? In this tutorial we look at how to find the looping point of a gif easily and make it so that the gif itself looks like it keeps going forever.
  • > Making a clean/grainless gif
    Removing grain is not only aesthetically wonderful, but also reduces the file size of a gif by a lot. In this tutorial we go over how exactly you use Photoshop to ensure that there’s no grain or hardly any grain in your gifs, to get that smooth and clean result.
  • > Timing a gif
    How to not make a slideshow and instead make a smoothly animated gif.

The AWS Lambda execution environment, depending on the AWS Lambda runtime, is based on the Amazon Linux AMI release 2018.03 or Amazon Linux release 2 (Karoo). Git is not pre-installed in the AWS Lambda execution environment.

You can compile the latest sources of Git and include the binaries into the deployment package of your Lambda function. You must build the binaries for the matching version of Amazon Linux or link them statically. If you want to keep your deployment package small, you can include the binaries in an AWS Lambda layer and attach this layer to the execution environment of your Lambda function.

Alternatively, you can download the latest available Git RPM package from the official Yum repository.

For the runtimes running on Amazon Linux AMI release 2018.03, you can download the Git RPM package in the Lambda function itself during its execution. In this case, you only need to add a few lines of source code to your Lambda function. The following procedure describes this approach.

How to Run Git in a Lambda Function

  • This procedure applies only to the AWS Lambda runtimes running on Amazon Linux AMI release 2018.03. The runtimes running on Amazon Linux release 2 (Karoo) do not have the necessary curl, rpm, rpm2cpio, and cpio tools pre-installed.

The repositories of the Amazon Linux AMI release 2018.03 are defined in the configuration files in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. You can query the repositories using the repoquery utility to get the download URLs of RPM packages.

The download URL of the latest available version of the Git RPM package for the Amazon Linux AMI release 2018.03 is http://packages.$awsregion.amazonaws.com/2018.03/updates/afd350e4a932/x86_64/Packages/git-2.18.4-2.72.amzn1.x86_64.rpm, where $awsregion can have one of the following values:

  • af-south-1
  • ap-east-1
  • ap-northeast-1
  • ap-northeast-2
  • ap-south-1
  • ap-southeast-1
  • ap-southeast-2
  • ca-central-1
  • eu-central-1
  • eu-north-1
  • eu-south-1
  • eu-west-1
  • eu-west-2
  • eu-west-3
  • me-south-1
  • sa-east-1
  • us-east-1
  • us-east-2
  • us-west-1
  • us-west-2

To download and run Git in your Lambda function during its execution:

  1. Download git-2.18.4-2.72.amzn1.x86_64.rpm package, verify its signature and extract the files from this package to /tmp/git-2.18.4 directory.
    For example, if you invoke your Lambda function in the US East (N. Virginia) region, execute in this function the following sequence of commands:
  2. Run the Git client as follows:
  • For the Python implementation of this procedure, see Appendix A, How to Clone a Git Repository in a Lambda Function (Python).

Appendix A, How to Clone a Git Repository in a Lambda Function (Python)

The following Python code snippet shows how you can clone a public Git repository in your Lambda function. In this example, you create a shallow clone with a depth of 1 to the /tmp/git-2.18.4 directory. The code is compatible with Python 2.7, Python 3.6, and Python 3.7.

Lambda Expression Tutorial

The execution duration of this Lambda function depends on the size of the configured memory and can be as less as 3 seconds.

  • If you want to connect from this Lambda function to a CodeCommit repository using the IAM role credentials, you need to add to the deployment package of the function a Git configuration file (.gitconfig) and a Git credential helper.
