OpenSSL binaries for AWS Lambda

A layer for AWS Lambda that allows your functions to use openssl binaries.

Getting Started

You can add this layer to any Lambda function you want. PATH already includes /opt/bin in Lambda, which is where it will be mounted.

Click on Layers and choose "Add a layer", and "Provide a layer version ARN" and enter the following ARN (replace us-east-1 with the region of your Lambda):

arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:034541671702:layer:openssl-lambda:1

Then click Add, save your lambda and test it out!

Simple example on Node.js

const { execSync } = require('child_process')

exports.handler = async(event) => {
  execSync(' openssl genrsa -out testCert.key 2048', { encoding: 'utf8', stdio: 'inherit' })
}
