Description

Right now, when hotswapping Lambda code, we don't wait for the updateFunctionCode API call we make to complete.

However, according to the documentation, this operation is actually eventually consistent today for Lambda functions that use Docker images, or are present in a VPC, and, even more importantly, this API will become eventually consistent for all Functions starting February 1, 2022.

We need to change our logic to wait for the operation to complete.

While implementing this, we should be cognizant of making sure we wait as effectively as possible, to not affect Lambda hotswap times too adversely. The simplest solution might be to use the standard Lambda waiter, that we use if we need to publish a new Version. Perhaps we can use a custom Waiter for this purpose, like we do for ECS service hotswapping.

Thanks a lot to @tmokmss who figured out all of this while working on Docker image Function hotswapping.
