🧪 Experiment: Create an AWS Lambda Function

That Logs a Message When an Image is Added to an


S3 Bucket

✅ Objective:
 To automatically trigger an AWS Lambda function when a new image is uploaded to
an S3 bucket.
 The Lambda function should log: "An image has been added"

🧰 Tools Required:
Tool Purpose
AWS Account To access Lambda and S3 services
S3 Bucket To store uploaded images
Lambda To write serverless logging function
IAM Roles To allow Lambda access to S3 & logs

📚 Theory:
🔷 AWS Lambda + S3 Integration:
 AWS Lambda can be triggered by events in S3, such as PUT
(upload) events.

 Common use cases:

o Image processing
o Logging file uploads
o Automating file conversions

🔶 Workflow:
1. Create an S3 bucket.
2. Create a Lambda function.
3. Add an S3 trigger to invoke the Lambda on object creation.
4. The Lambda logs: "An image has been added".

🔧 Implementation Steps

▶️Step 1: Create an S3 Bucket


1. Go to AWS Console → S3

2. Click Create Bucket

o Bucket name: my-image-uploads


o Region: Same as Lambda
3. Enable Block Public Access (default)

4. Click Create Bucket

▶️Step 2: Create a Lambda Function


1. Go to AWS Console → Lambda

2. Click Create Function

o Function name: logImageUpload


o Runtime: Python 3.9
o Permissions: Create a new role with basic Lambda permissions

▶️Step 3: Write the Lambda Code


Paste the following into the inline code editor:
import json

def lambda_handler(event, context):


print("An image has been added")
print("Event details:")
print(json.dumps(event)) # Optional: Log the S3 event
return {
'statusCode': 200,
'body': json.dumps('Image upload logged successfully')
}

Click Deploy.

▶️Step 4: Add S3 Trigger to Lambda


1. Go to Configuration → Triggers → Add trigger
2. Choose S3

o Bucket: my-image-uploads
o Event type: PUT
o Prefix: (optional) images/
o Suffix: .jpg or .png to limit to image uploads
3. Click Add

▶️Step 5: Upload an Image to S3


1. Go to your S3 bucket

2. Click Upload

o Select a .jpg or .png image


3. Click Upload

▶️Step 6: View Lambda Logs


1. Go to AWS Lambda → Monitor → View Logs in CloudWatch

2. Open the latest log stream

3. You should see:

An image has been added

✅ Output:
 Whenever an image is uploaded to the specified S3 bucket, the Lambda function is
triggered.
 The log message "An image has been added" is displayed in CloudWatch Logs.

📌 Conclusion:
 This experiment demonstrates how AWS Lambda can be used for event-driven
automation.
 By integrating Lambda with S3, we can log or process files immediately upon upload.
 This is useful for image processing, watermarking, alerting, or storing metadata.
