Available versions of the AWS FIS extension for Lambda

This section includes information about the AWS FIS Lambda extension versions. The extension supports Lambda functions developed for the x86-64 and ARM64 (Graviton2) platforms. Your Lambda function must be configured to use the specific Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the AWS Region where it is currently hosted. You can view AWS Region and ARN details below.

Access Guide for Lambda Extension ARNs

You must have at least one parameter in your AWS account and AWS Region before you can search for public parameters using the console. To discover public parameters, see Discovering public parameters in Parameter Store.

Console Access:

  1. Open the AWS Systems Manager console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Parameter Store.

  3. Choose the Public parameters tab.

  4. Choose the Select a service dropdown. From the dropdown options, choose fis.

  5. (Optional) Filter the parameters you selected by entering more information into the search bar. For arm64 architectures, filter parameters by entering "arm64". For x86_64 architectures, filter parameters by entering "x86_64".

  6. Choose the public parameter you want to use.

  7. From the parameter details, locate the ARN value. Copy the ARN to use in configuring layer extensions on your target Lambda functions.

AWS CLI Access:

SSM Parameter Names

The following SSM parameter names are available for different architectures:

  1. arm64: /aws/service/fis/lambda-extension/AWS-FIS-extension-arm64/1.x.x

  2. x86_64: /aws/service/fis/lambda-extension/AWS-FIS-extension-x86_64/1.x.x

AWS CLI Command Format

To retrieve the extension ARNs, use the following AWS CLI command format where parameterName is the name for the architecture and region is the target AWS Region:

aws ssm get-parameter --name parameterName --region region

Example Usage

aws ssm get-parameter --name /aws/service/fis/lambda-extension/AWS-FIS-extension-x86_64/1.x.x --region ap-southeast-2

Response Format

The command returns a JSON object containing the parameter details like the following. The ARN of the Lambda layer is included in the Value field of the Parameter object. Copy the ARN to use in configuring layer extensions on your target Lambda functions.

 {
     "Parameter":
        {
             "Name": "/aws/service/fis/lambda-extension/AWS-FIS-extension-x86_64/1.x.x",
             "Type": "String",
             "Value": "arn:aws:lambda:ap-southeast-2:211125361907:layer:aws-fis-extension-x86_64:9",
             "Version": 1,
             "LastModifiedDate": "2025-01-02T15:13:54.465000-05:00",
             "ARN": "arn:aws:ssm:ap-southeast-2::parameter/aws/service/fis/lambda-extension/AWS-FIS-extension-x86_64/1.x.x",
             "DataType": "text"
        }
 }

Programmatic Access:

Retrieve these public parameters programmatically when building or configuring your Lambda functions using Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This approach helps maintain your Lambda functions with the latest layer version ARN without requiring manual code updates that would be necessary if the AWS FIS extension layer ARN were hardcoded. The following resources show how to retrieve public parameters using common IaC platforms:

Finding your Lambda extension version number

Use the following procedure to locate the version number of your currently configured AWS FIS Lambda extension.

  1. Open the AWS Lambda console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/lambda/.

  2. Choose the Lambda function where you want to add the AWS-FIS-Extension layer.

  3. In the Layers section, choose Edit.

  4. In the Edit layers section, choose Add a layer.

  5. In the Choose a layer section, choose Specify an ARN.

  6. Enter the ARN for the AWS FIS extension layer that corresponds to your AWS Region and architecture. You can find the ARN using the console, AWS CLI, or programmatic access methods described in the preceding sections.

  7. Choose Verify to confirm the layer ARN is valid, then choose Add.

  8. Use the Test tab to test the function.

  9. After the test completes, view the log output. Locate the AWS FIS Lambda extension version in the Details of the Execution section.
