Exceeds versions limit remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of having too many versions of AWS Lambda functions using AWS CLI, follow the below steps:

Open the AWS CLI on your local machine.
Run the following command to list all the AWS Lambda functions in your account:
```
aws lambda list-functions
```
Identify the function(s) that have too many versions.
Run the following command to delete the older versions of the function(s):
```
aws lambda delete-function --function-name <function-name>:<version>
```
Replace <function-name> with the name of the function and <version> with the version number of the function you want to delete. Note: You should keep at least the latest version of the function.
Repeat step 4 for all the functions that have too many versions.
Verify that the number of versions of each function is reduced to an acceptable number.

By following these steps, you will remediate the misconfiguration of having too many versions of AWS Lambda functions.

Using Python

To remediate the issue of having too many versions of AWS Lambda Functions, you can use the following Python script:

import boto3

# Set the AWS region
region = 'us-east-1'

# Set the Lambda function name
function_name = 'my-lambda-function'

# Create the Lambda client
client = boto3.client('lambda', region_name=region)

# List all the versions of the Lambda function
response = client.list_versions_by_function(FunctionName=function_name)

# Get the number of versions
num_versions = len(response['Versions'])

# If there are more than 10 versions, delete the oldest ones
if num_versions > 10:
    versions_to_delete = num_versions - 10
    for i in range(versions_to_delete):
        version = response['Versions'][i]['Version']
        client.delete_function(FunctionName=function_name, Qualifier=version)

This script uses the Boto3 library to interact with the AWS Lambda service. It first sets the region and the Lambda function name that needs to be remediated. Then, it lists all the versions of the Lambda function using the list_versions_by_function method. If there are more than 10 versions, it deletes the oldest versions using the delete_function method.You can schedule this script to run periodically using a Lambda function or a cron job to ensure that the number of versions of your Lambda functions stays within a manageable limit.
