Identifies when an AWS Lambda function is created or updated. AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning or
managing servers. Adversaries can create or update Lambda functions to execute malicious code, exfiltrate data, or
escalate privileges. This is a [building block
rule](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/building-block-rule.html) that does not generate alerts, but
signals when a Lambda function is created or updated that matches the rule's conditions. To generate alerts, create a
rule that uses this signal as a building block.
