README supplement #19
Description
Thanks for this project and I followed the README very easily, but I think README needs some supplement for new users of AWS (like me).
While I was following that README, Before running of lambda deploy, I should create IAM users for getting aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key. Nextly, I should create ~/.aws/credentials files for saving both key or just input to config.yaml (don't need to share). Finally, I should attach two policies to my IAM users, AWSLambdaFullAccess (for creating lambda function) and IAMFullAccess (perfoming iam:getUser). (I think Amazon provides more narrow polices)
Summary,
Before run lambda deploy
- Create IAM users
- Get
aws_access_key_idandaws_secret_access_key - Save above keys to
~/.aws/credentials - Attach
AWSLambdaFullAccessandIAMFullAccess - Run
lambda deploy

In addition to creating a new user, I needed to create a new role specifically called
lambda_basic_executionwith the appropriate policies.maxtortime commentedon Nov 5, 2016
I think making user at AWS IAP console (web browser) is easy, so just writing instruction to documentation will be better. May I edit README?

Please can I second the addition of README steps around:
IAM Policies needed for the developers account
IAM Role called
lambda_basic_executionneeded with theLambdaBasicExecutionpolicy attached.Tx.

I also spent unnecessary time working to figure out this policy issue. Please add to README.
