Call AWS lambda from .Net Console application

Question

I have a .Net console application running on EC2 in which I want to call AWS lambda to execute a long list of 10000 tasks. These tasks can have a chance to success and fail, however, I only need at least 5000 successful tasks. Queuing will not be a part of the picture because I want the response code from the lambda in my console app. Is it possible to trigger AWS lambda from a .Net console application? Is there any configuration on user or role when calling the lambda if it is possible?

Answer 1

In answer to your first part of the question: yes, its possible to invoke a lambda function from a .net core application - you can do it directly using the .net sdk, or thru REST calls using the aws api-gateway (assuming you setup the api-gateway to lambda link first).

Is there any configuration on user or role when calling the lambda if it is possible?

I don't understand that part of the question: but you will need to use some aws credentials to invoke lambda from a .net core application, and those credentials will need to have sufficient rights to make the call.
