+# AWS Lambda Function that uses S3
+
+This example processes S3 events. If the event is a CREATE event,
+it downloads the created file, generates a thumbnail from it
+(it assumes that the file is an image) and uploads it to S3 into a bucket named
+[original-bucket-name]-thumbs.
+
+## Build & Deploy
+
+1. Install [cargo-lambda](https://github.com/cargo-lambda/cargo-lambda#installation)
+2. Build the function with `cargo lambda build --release` 
+3. Deploy the function to AWS Lambda with `cargo lambda deploy --iam-role YOUR_ROLE`
+
+## Build for ARM 64
+
+Build the function with `cargo lambda build --release --arm64`
