Looks useful. I assume this can be run on any arbitrary fork/branch. I suggest updating the collector documentation to highlight this as a way to build a custom layer. Even better if you can include documentation for how to manually upload the layer to an account. These are optional suggestions though and can be done later if you prefer.

I am planning to enhance this workflow (for ex. specifying build tags so custom collector binary will be able to built, deploying as layer to the specified AWS account, etc ...).
So I think, it is better to merge this as is into the main branch and then I can test in in my fork/branch for the further enhancements easier. And then, I will add the final documentation based on those.

@tylerbenson I will add documentation in the next PR along with enhancements, but didn't understand updating the description. Is it for this PR? |

Yes, this PR has an empty description. Please populate with some details describing the motivation for this. |
@tylerbenson Added description. Please check. |

Ok, then merging and will come with follow-up PR(s) for the enhancements soon. |
The motivation of this PR is being able to build collector binaries from working branches.
For example, if you don't have a local environment to produce Lambda collector binaries for both
amd64and/orarm64architectures to test in the real Lambda environment, you can use this workflow in your own fork/branch to build your custom collector binaries.In the later PRs, this workflow will be enhanced by supporting
