title: How do you package up a visual studio aws serverless project?
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out if there is a way I can package up an aws serverless project in an automated way so that we can split our build and release pipeline up.</p>
  
  <p>Using the <code>dotnet lambda</code> command line tools, I can see there is a <code>dotnet lambda package</code> command to package the lambda as a .zip file ready for deployment. But I can't find anything for packaging the whole serverless application up.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible? If so what commands do I run?</p>
  
  <p>We're running on VSTS for the Build and Release pipelines, however I don't really think I makes any difference as long as I can script it out.</p>
