A company gives users the ability to upload images from a custom application.The upload process invokes an AWS Lambda function that processes and stores the image in an Amazon S3 bucket.The application invokes the Lambda function by using a specific function version ARN.The Lambda function accepts image processing parameters by using environment variables.The company often adjusts the environment variables of the Lambda function to achieve optimal image processing output.The company tests different parameters and publishes a new function version with the updated environment variables after validating results.This update process also requires frequent changes to the custom application to invoke the new function version ARN.These changes cause interruptions for users.A solutions architect needs to simplify this process to minimize disruption to users.Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?Read More →
