Creates an alias for a Lambda function version. Use aliases to provide clients with a function identifier that you can update to invoke a different version.
You can also map an alias to split invocation requests between two versions. Use the RoutingConfig
parameter to specify a second version and the percentage of invocation requests that it receives.
