How to set Lambda function name?

0

I am developing Lambda (NET6) and use VS2022 Publish to AWS. It works but one question: When I see the Lambda functions list in AWS then I see long name (auto-generated) instead of my Lambda name "function-name" : "xx2aws" By the way: the description is applied.

Here is my file aws-lambda-tools-defaults.json

{ "profile" : "aws-admin", "region" : "eu-west-2", "configuration" : "Release", "s3-prefix" : "XX2AWS/", "template" : "serverless.template", "template-parameters" : "", "s3-bucket" : "bucketxx2aws", "stack-name" : "xx2awscustomers", ** "function-name" : "xx2aws",** "function-description" : "xx2aws beta" }

I cannot rename the Lambda after it is published. How this name can be assigned yo Lambda ?

Function name can be assigned at the time of creation, for example if you are creating a Lambda function using cloud formation, the you can use FunctionName: <name>. If you don't specify a name, AWS CloudFormation generates one. So after an auto generated name has been assigned, then the closest thing you can do is assign Alias. Please follow the documentation shared below to create an alias. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-aliases.html

Need to use serverless.template file, instead of the aws-lambda-tools-defaults.json file.

"Type": "AWS::Serverless::Function", "Properties": { "FunctionName": "xx2aws", ... } ...

This way it works. But it is not clear what is the function name in the aws-lambda-tools-defaults.json, why we need it.

The documentation here says to enter the function name when deploying the Lambda function, but this procedure does not set the function name?
I apologize if I am mistaken, but is deploying done differently than the procedure in the following document?

Your file looks correct, check if the Function Name is populating on the publish screen while you are Uploading Lambda to AWS. If you do not see the name in Function Name field then try to re create your json file using the following reference. https://github.com/iammukeshm/aws-lambda-dotnet-6/blob/master/HelloLambda/aws-lambda-tools-defaults.json
