---|---|
Python 2.7 support |
You can now develop your Lambda function code using Python 2.7. For more information, see Authoring Lambda Functions in Python. |
Versioning |
You can maintain one or more versions of your Lambda function. Versioning allows you to control which Lambda function version is executed in different environments (for example, development, testing, or production). For more information, see AWS Lambda Function Versioning and Aliases. |
Scheduled jobs |
You can also set up AWS Lambda to invoke your code on a regular, scheduled basis using the AWS Lambda console.

Maximum duration for a Lambda function execution can now be up to 5 minutes |
You can now set up your Lambda functions to run for up to five minutes allowing longer running functions such as large volume data ingestion and processing jobs. |
