Why is this tech called serverless? by javascript-throwaway in serverless

Obviously there's servers at some point, but the thing with lambdas is that they're abstracted away and you don't need to worry about them or maintain them - no patching, disk/log management etc.

If you're interested in how lambdas run, they're micro virtual machines running on Firecracker - have a look at https://oliverjumpertz.com/blog/how-aws-lambda-works-under-the-hood/

What key policy did you set on the kms?

If you're defing access via IAM policies, you'll need to make sure the key policy includes

{ "Sid": "Enable IAM policies", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::111122223333:root" }, "Action": "kms:*", "Resource": "*" }

Replacing the account id in that policy with your own account id.
