title: AWS lambda versioning
body: <p>I have a question about the lambda functions versioning capabilities.</p>
  
  <p>I know how the standard way of versioning works out of the box in AWS but I thought there is a way for the publisher to specify the version number which would tag a specific snapshot of the function. More exactly what I was thinking of was including in the uploaded zip file a config.json where the version would be specified. And this would be used afterwards by AWS for tagging.</p>
  
  <p>The reason I am asking is because I would like, for example, to keep in sync the version of the lambda function with the CI job build number that built (zipped) the lambda.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks</p>
