To be clear, this was a result of frequent deploys, and never pruning old, unused versions of the Lambda functions, as is recommended.

A public SNS Topic with a trigger event every quarter hour. Can be used to drive AWS Lambda functions, SQS queues, and email. Free service from an old hacker (me) giving back to the hacker community.

I love the spirit of this -- A real "public service". thanks.

(article author) I'll listen in for comments here or on the article itself.

Let me know if there are commands you'd like to be run on the AWS Lambda sandbox.

Yes, the Lambda function is run in an Amazon Linux environment.

I published some explorations of that environment here: http://alestic.com/2014/11/aws-lambda-environment

Let me know in the comments on that article what other commands you'd like to see output for.

Are you sure there might not still be sensitive information in the file system journal on some file systems?

Good point, didn't think of that.
