createComponentVersion

Creates a component. Components are software that run on Greengrass core devices. After you develop and test a component on your core device, you can use this operation to upload your component to IoT Greengrass. Then, you can deploy the component to other core devices.

You can use this operation to do the following:

• Create components from recipesCreate a component from a recipe, which is a file that defines the component's metadata, parameters, dependencies, lifecycle, artifacts, and platform capability. For more information, see IoT Greengrass component recipe reference in the IoT Greengrass V2 Developer Guide.To create a component from a recipe, specify inlineRecipe when you call this operation.

• Create components from Lambda functionsCreate a component from an Lambda function that runs on IoT Greengrass. This creates a recipe and artifacts from the Lambda function's deployment package. You can use this operation to migrate Lambda functions from IoT Greengrass V1 to IoT Greengrass V2.This function only accepts Lambda functions that use the following runtimes:

• Python 2.7 – python2.7

• Python 3.7 – python3.7

• Python 3.8 – python3.8

• Python 3.9 – python3.9

• Java 8 – java8

• Java 11 – java11

• Node.js 10 – nodejs10.x

• Node.js 12 – nodejs12.x

• Node.js 14 – nodejs14.x To create a component from a Lambda function, specify lambdaFunction when you call this operation.IoT Greengrass currently supports Lambda functions on only Linux core devices.
