- Model Function

In order to author a Lambda function that uses libraries outside the base Python distribution, you’ll need to set up a local environment that defines the function and includes all of the dependencies. Once your function is defined, you can upload the function by creating a zip file of the local environment, uploading the resulting file to S3, and configuring a Lambda function from the file uploaded to S3.

Getting started

The first step in this process is to create a directory with all of the dependencies installed locally.

While it’s possible to perform this process on a local machine, we will perform these tasks in our code widget below to provide a clean Python environment.

Creating the environment

The next step is to install the libraries needed for the function, which are Pandas and sklearn. These libraries may already be installed in our execution ...
