I'm trying to build a simple AWS Lambda function that is triggered by the Alexa Skills Kit. I am following an Amazon made tutorial on creating the skill, etc. Unfortunately, Alexa Skills Kit is not an option on the drop down menu for the "Configure Triggers" window. I've attached a photo of what is available.
Is there anyway to get the Alexa Skills Kit to display? Is there something wrong with my account? Any suggestions would be very helpful. I am stuck at a spot that really shouldn't be causing me any issues. I have a basic account and therefore cannot get support from Amazon.

You can use Lambda functions to build services that give new skills to Alexa, the Voice assistant on Amazon Echo. The Alexa Skills Kit provides the APIs, tools, and documentation to create these new skills, powered by your own services running as Lambda functions.
Inside AWS Lambda console if you click on Triggers tab it will show you list of triggers if any triggers are configured for that lambda function.
I figured it out. For some reason my location defaulted to Oregon, which is not supported for ASK. Changing it to N. Virginia did the trick.

Alexa Skills Kit as a trigger for AWS Lambda functions can be configured in any of US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon) or EU (Ireland) regions.
When configuring the Lambda endpoint for your skill, you can provide a Default endpoint as well as three other optional geographical region endpoints which will be called based on the customer’s location for better latency.
