You simply upload your code, configure a trigger, like an EventBridge rule, and Lambda takes care of everything else. Scaling, patching, and running your code only when needed. You pay only for the compute time your function uses. Here are some scenarios where Lambda shines for automated remediation. You can use Lambda to dissociate Elastic IPs from EC2 instances.
