title: Find out AWS Lambda running Availability Zone
body: <p>I am having an AWS lambda function with Java8 as programming language which needs access to AWS VPC resources and my VPC has multiple AZ (Availability Zones) under it.</p>
  
  <p>When I know the Availability Zone details where my lambda function is currently running (want to figure out this within the lambda function itself using Context Object or from Environment Variables), I can connect to the resources in the local AZ first and do fail over to other AZ if needed. This avoids data transfer between the AZ most of the time.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get the AZ details from within the lambda code itself ?</p>
