Create an IAM policy and Execution role

[nelsonic]

It's not possible to load the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables in AWS lambda see: dwyl/aws-lambda-deploy#58 (comment)
Which is why we are seeing the AccessDenied error #10 😞
There appears to be a way forward:
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/lambda-send-email-ses

Todo:

• Create the IAM policy and attach it to the LambdaExecRole
• Test if that works!

[nelsonic]

On the IAM policies homepage, select Policies and then Create policy:
https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home?region=eu-west-1#/policies

Select the JSON tab and paste the json from the instructions, the click Review policy
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/lambda-send-email-ses

Review the policy and name it e.g: LambdaSES

Cant share a link in this description, so just google for How do I send email using Lambda and Amazon SES

Once you click on Create policy you should see a confirmation LambdaSES has been created.:

Next we need to attach the policy to the existing role.
Search for the policy, select it and then click on the Policy actions selector:

Attach the policy to the LambdaExecRole:

Once you click the Attach policy button, you should see a confirmation similar to this:

This stage is done.
Let's try and test it!

Test it: https://eu-west-1.console.aws.amazon.com/lambda/home?region=eu-west-1#/functions/aws-ses-lambda-v1?tab=configuration

Boom!! Works!!!!!! 🎉
