AWS SAM Template - Defining Environment Variables for Lambda Function was created by Vishal

I'm working on an AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) project and I'm trying to define environment variables for my Lambda function within the

Code:

template.yaml

file. I want to set specific configuration values that my Lambda function can access at runtime.I've looked through the AWS SAM documentation, but I'm having trouble finding a clear example of how to define environment variables directly in the template.Could someone provide guidance on the proper syntax and structure to define environment variables for a Lambda function using AWS SAM? Are there any best practices or considerations I should be aware of when setting up environment variables within the SAM template?Here's a snippet of what I have so far:

Code:

Resources:
  MyLambdaFunction:
    Type: AWS::Serverless::Function
    Properties:
      CodeUri: ./my-lambda-code
      Handler: index.handler
      Runtime: nodejs14.x
      Environment:
        Variables:
          MY_CONFIG_KEY: "my-config-value"

Is this the correct approach, or am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Vishal,

Wrong SAM! This is a forum for NREL's System Advisor Model (SAM).

For the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM), see aws.amazon.com/serverless/sam/ .

Best regards,
Paul.
