Simple echo name AWS Lambda function in Python

Description

This AWS Lambda function is a very simple "echo" type service where it'll echo your input object back to you in its response.

Python 3.7 runtime environment with pip installed
Access to the internet to be able to pre-install jsonschema module (pip install jsonschema)

The expected input object is a simple JSON object with one field:

{
  "name": "somename"
}

The response is a JSON object consisting of the following fields:

name: The same value for the name field in your input object (echo'd back to you)
requestId: The value of the LambdaContext.aws_request_id property when the function runs on AWS
timestamp: A UTC timestamp in string format

Example response for the above input object:

{
  "name": "somename",
  "requestId": "2a35681d-5a58-4406-8137-4220aee9057f",
  "timestamp": "2022-02-03T23:14:19.705862"
}

To test the lambda_function.py file simply run:

./run_tests.sh

This script assumes you're running this on a host (or Docker container) that has Python 3 (at least 3.7) installed and pip available.
