The Challenge: Finding a lambda with one information - its name

In this second round, we tackle the task of finding a resource when we only have its name and the type of resource.

AWS Method:

Steps to find a lambda:

  1. Open AWS Lambda.

  2. Type the name of the lambda and press Enter.

  3. Pray for the resource to appear. It doesn't. 😠

  4. Ok you're in eu-west-3, let's look for other regions.

  5. Change to eu-west-1.

  6. Type the name of the lambda and press Enter.

  7. Pray for the resource to appear. It doesn't. 😠😠

  8. Change to eu-west-2

  9. Type the name of the lambda and press Enter.

  10. Pray for the resource to appear. It doesn't. 😠😠😠

  11. Change to eu-central-1

  12. Type the name of the lambda and press Enter.

  13. Pray for the resource to appear. It doesn't. 😠😠😠😠

  14. Change to ap-south-1 while you're sure there are no resources here 😠

  15. It's here and it's the only lambda.

  16. Realize that you have wasted a lot of money in AWS data transfer and you should transfer it to your main region.

  17. Don't do it because you don't have the time.

Ok it could have taken you 2 steps - but it also could have been 20+.
