Answer 1

(a bit late)

Go to drop down menu "actions", select "export function", then choose "download aws sam file", this will give you a YAML file to use in AWS CloudFormation, then choose the other option "download deployment package".

Now that you have these 2 files you can recreate the Lambda Function as follows:, 1) use the YAML file in CloudFormation, 2) Once you have the function re-created upload the zip package.

Bear in mind that if you have triggers, i.e: Api Gateway, you have to add them manually. Perhaps there is a better way to do this but so far this has worked for me.

Answer 2

1. Open up your function from the 'Lambda Management Console'.
2. Navigate to 'Actions>Publish New Version'.
3. This will create a read-only copy of your latest version.
