Deploying AWS Lambda to multiple regions?

Question

Quick one.

What does it look like when you’ve got one lambda deployed in multiple regions? Is it just 2 separate copies of the same code with a different name, different ARN etc?

does AWS view them as unrelated lambdas?

Or does it know they’re the same thing deployed in different regions?

Answer 1

Two lambda will be treated as separate entities. Sample ARN of lambda

arn:aws:lambda:region:account-id:function:function-name
