# Appendix: Default AWS Settings

On litexa deploy, the @litexa/deploy-aws module configures the following settings for backend deployment:

# IAM

Creates an IAM role called litexa_handler_lambda for your Lambda to use. It has the policies: CloudWatchFullAccess, AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess, and AWSLambdaBasicExecutionRole.

Provisioned read capacity units: 10 (Auto Scaling Disabled)
Provisioned write capacity units: 10 (Auto Scaling Disabled)
Primary key is a String called userId - the litexa module gives this the skill requests's context.System.device.deviceId field, by default.

Runtime is set to nodejs10.x, by default.
- You can modify the Lambda's runtime version by changing your Litexa configuration. Details can be found in our deployment chapter.
- You can check the runtime deprecation schedule in the Lambda Runtime Support Policy (opens new window).
Creates/uses an alias, which is included as part of the skill endpoint
The deployment target's alias is set to point to $LATEST on every deployment
Memory size of 256 MB
10 second timeout (maximum runtime)
Some environment variables related to your skill configuration
- loggingLevel = terse

If the litexa deploy command generates a bucket for you, it does so with all default settings.
Objects in the bucket will be marked public on upload.

If the Lambda's log group doesn't exist yet (will be the case for a newly-generated Lambda), it will create it and then apply a 30 day retention policy to it.
