The first tutorial will walk through how to add an AWS Lambda function to a S3 GET request to modify an object retrieved from S3. The second tutorial demonstrates how to use a prebuilt Lambda function powered by Amazon Comprehend to protect personally identifiable information (PII) retrieved from S3 before returning it to an application.
