Create S3 Event Trigger

Time Estimate: 5 - 10 minutes

Invoking Lambda functions
You can invoke Lambda functions directly with the Lambda console, the Lambda API, the AWS SDK, the AWS CLI, and AWS toolkits. You can also configure other AWS services to invoke your function, or you can configure Lambda to read from a stream or queue and invoke your function.
For more information see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-invocation.html

In this section you will configure S3 to invoke your Lambda function.
