The handler function

In AWS Lambda, the handler is the entry point for your function. It's shown in the Runtime settings section under the Code tab and must follow the format filename.function_name (without the .py extension).

In this exercise, you'll locate the handler setting in the AWS Console and confirm which handler configuration string is valid.
