 ## Custom Environment Variables
-AWS Lambda doesn't let you set environment variables for your function, but in many cases you will need to configure your function with secure values that you don't want to check into version control. Use the sample `deploy.env` file to set environment variables that will be prepended to your compiled Lambda function before it gets uploaded to S3. For example, a DB connection string or encryption key.

+AWS Lambda doesn't let you set environment variables for your function, but in many cases you will need to configure your function with secure values that you don't want to check into version control. Use the sample `deploy.env` file in combination with the `--configFile` flag to set environment variables that will be prepended to your compiled Lambda function before it gets uploaded to S3. For example, a DB connection string or encryption key.
