Lambda / Client / list_layers

list_layers#

Lambda.Client.list_layers(**kwargs)#

Lists Lambda layers and shows information about the latest version of each. Specify a runtime identifier to list only layers that indicate that they’re compatible with that runtime. Specify a compatible architecture to include only layers that are compatible with that instruction set architecture.
