Penetration testing for Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda Functions

Question

I want to do a penetration test by applying a load to a solution developed with API Gateway and Lambda Functions.

Is it possible for them to do it without any approval from AWS? Or does AWS prohibit this kind of tests for security purposes?

Thanks
