Question

A developer is preparing a serverless application for deployment. The AWS SAM template references local Lambda source code and an OpenAPI definition file using local file paths. The developer wants to transform these local references into a deployable CloudFormation template that points to artifacts uploaded to Amazon S3, so the template can later be deployed by a separate release pipeline. Which SAM CLI command produces this output?

Accepted Answer

sam package (or sam deploy --guided) uploads local artifacts to an S3 bucket and outputs a template with updated S3 references

Answer

sam build compiles dependencies and rewrites the template to reference the built artifacts in S3

Answer

sam local start-api packages the code and publishes it to S3 for later deployment

Answer

sam validate uploads the artifacts and returns a deploy-ready template
