 - Add the new `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrgen` package to provide auto-generated source code instrumentation. (#3068)
 - `otelmux`: Add new `WithSpanNameFormatter` option to `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/github.com/gorilla/mux/otelmux` to allow customizing span names. (#3041)
+- Add missing recommended AWS Lambda resource attributes `faas.instance` and `faas.max_memory` in `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/detectors/aws/lambda`. (#3148)
 - Improve documentation for `samplers/jaegerremote` by providing examples of sampling endpoints. (#3147)

 |`cloud.region` | us-east-1 
 |`faas.name` | MyLambdaFunction 
 |`faas.version` | $LATEST
+|`faas.instance` | 2021/06/28/[$LATEST]2f399eb14537447da05ab2a2e39309de
+|`faas.max_memory`| 128
 
 Of note, `faas.id` and `cloud.account.id` are not set by the Lambda resource detector because they are not available outside a Lambda invocation. For this reason, when using the AWS Lambda Instrumentation these attributes are set as additional span attributes.
