AWS Serverless Application Repository Cheat Sheet
The AWS Serverless Application Repository is a managed repository for deploying and publishing serverless applications.
You can also use pre-built applications instead of cloning, building, packaging, and publishing source code to AWS before deploying it.
Each application includes an AWS SAM template that specifies the AWS resources that will be used.
Publishing Applications
Use an AWS SAM template to define your application.
To publish a serverless app, you can use the following to upload your code:
AWS Management Console
AWS SAM CLI
AWS SDKs
When you publish an app, it is initially set to private and only accessible to the AWS account that created it.
You can deploy and share your app by setting it to:
Private
Not shared with any other AWS accounts.
Only accessible to the AWS account that created it.
You have permission to deploy applications created with your AWS account.
Privately Shared
Shared to a specific set of AWS accounts.
Accessible in the AWS Region in which they are created.
You have permission to deploy applications shared with your AWS account.
Publicly Shared
Shared with everyone.
Accessible to all AWS Regions.
You have permission to deploy any publicly shared application.
A link to the source code is included in publicly shared applications.
If the public app is deployed to another Region, AWS SAR copies the app deployment artifacts to an Amazon S3 bucket in the destination Region.
By sharing Lambda layers, you can deploy an instance of your layer to another AWS account.
Deploying Applications
To deploy an application, you must have permission to do so (see permissions above).
Before deploying an app, AWS SAR also checks the application template for:
IAM roles
AWS resource policies
Nested applications specified by the template
You can only search for and browse applications for which you have permission:
Created using your AWS account
Privately shared with your AWS account
Publicly shared
Use AWS Console or AWS CLI to deploy and update applications.
AWS Serverless Application Repository Monitoring
Create a trail in AWS CloudTrail to capture all API calls.
Even if you haven’t configured a trail, you can still view the most recent events in the CloudTrail console’s Event history.
AWS Serverless Application Repository Pricing
You are charged for AWS resources used in the applications you deploy.
