AWS SAM makes it easy to run a Lambda function on a schedule and pass in a JSON blob as a payload to your function. See the schedule SAM object. But it’s not as clear cut if you are trying to do this same thing with Terraform.

I found myself in a situation where I had to hash a bunch of data to look for the presence of those hashes in another dataset. I knew what the universe of possible tokens was, and it was relatively small, so it wasn’t necessarily a password cracking exercise, though it was akin to one. I didn’t have a password cracking utility like hashcat or John the Ripper within arms reach, and since I didn’t need to chew through hundreds of millions of possible combinations, I went ahead and loaded up the data in Pandas.
