In the AWS Lambda Web Console, there is a list of Lambda "Applications". It is not the same as the list of CloudFormation stacks.

I have long wondered what one does to cause a Lambda to be part of an "Application" and how AWS is able to retrieve a list of these "Lambda Applications".

This would be useful if one wanted to programmatically generate dashboards, among other things.

I think we can tag the lambda application with a desired cloudformation stack.
When we tag with the key,aws:cloudformation:your-stack-name ,it can associate the lambda with a particular CloudFormation stack.

I believe running this in the AWS CLI will tag the lambda to an existing cloudformation stack.

aws lambda tag-resource \
  --resource "arn:aws:lambda:::function " \
  --tags aws:cloudformation:your-stack-name=
