Scheduling local lambda function

Question

I have an application in which there is a Raspberry Pi as Greengrass Core and multiple ESP32 as Devices and together they form a Greengrass Group. Now, I want to have a local shadow update to a specific Device at a specific time. I implemented scheduling of lambda function with cloudwatch triggers and cron jobs but this will not work if the internet is down.   
  
I was thinking of using cron tool () for Unix systems to schedule a local lambda function which publishes the desired MQTT message to local shadow service.  
  
Is there any way to accomplish this?

Answer

Hello navya-aws,  
  
Thanks for the clarification. I'll try pinned lambda function as workaround for this as of now.

Hi PegasusAutoma,  
  
Thanks for your question.  
Unfortunately there isn't a way to schedule a local lambda function.   
You would have to use a pinned lambda and then refactor your function code to handle the scheduling for you.  
Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.  
  
Thanks,  
Navya.
