Question

I have a lambda function running in my AWS that take almost 8mins. Now that function is malfunctioning and creating different results. Can someone help me as how can I kill the lambda function?

Answer 1

You cannot kill a running lambda function. Though there is another way by which you can set concurrency limit to 0. This will stop it from starting any more executions.

$ aws lambda put-function-concurrency --function-name my-function --reserved-concurrent-executions 0

You can learn more about the Lambda function from the AWS Training and Certification.

Answer 2

$ aws lambda put-function-concurrency --function-name my-function --reserved-concurrent-executions 0
