Highlights
Use the new AWS Lambda Layer task to publish shared dependencies
You can now use the AWS Lambda Layer task to share additional code and content like libraries, a custom runtime, or other dependencies in the form of layers so that you can use libraries in your function without needing to include them in your deployment package:
Layers let you keep your deployment package small, which makes development easier. You can avoid errors that can occur when you install and package dependencies with your function code. [...] You can create layers, or use layers published by AWS and other AWS customers. Layers support resource-based policies for granting layer usage permissions to specific AWS accounts, AWS Organizations, or all accounts.
