Trying out the `cloud` api for the first time (aws lambda). Is it possible to use the aws sdk directly (or other js libs?) in a `aws.lambda.CallbackFunction`? I'm trying to just s3 cp a file from one place to another - `pulumi.cloud.Bucket` doesn't seem to offer this (only get and put the actual contents, which would not be ideal for larger files). The examples spin off a separate `cloud.Task` - but this seems unnecessary for this use-case.

Yep!  In fact, you can just write `let s3client = new aws.sdk.S3()` to get an S3 client.  We expose a copy of the AWS SDK off the `aws.sdk` variable.

You can see an example of this at <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/aws-ts-s3-lambda-copyzip/index.ts#L18>.

Which was also covered in a recent blog post at <https://blog.pulumi.com/easy-serverless-apps-and-infrastructure-real-events-real-code>.

Great, thanks <@UB3BGTV63>! I'll try that out.
