To integrate an AWS Lambda function with an on-premises IIS server using Windows authentication and cache HTTP responses, follow these streamlined instructions focusing on authentication and caching strategies:

Handling Windows Authentication
HTTP Client: Utilize a Python HTTP client library that supports Windows authentication, such as requests-ntlm for NTLM or requests-negotiate-sspi for Kerberos, alongside the standard requests library.
Implementing Caching
You can choose from several caching strategies based on your requirements:

Amazon S3: Suitable for storing large JSON responses. Serialize the response and store it in an S3 bucket with a unique key for each entry to facilitate easy retrieval.
Amazon DynamoDB: Ideal for structured data caching, allowing queries based on response attributes. Use a TTL attribute for automatic expiration of old entries.
Amazon ElastiCache: Offers high-performance, low-latency caching suitable for frequently accessed data. Choose between Redis and Memcached based on your caching pattern needs.
Lambda Internal Cache: For temporary caching within the same Lambda invocation, use global variables. This cache persists only as long as the Lambda execution context is alive.
Amazon RDS or Aurora Serverless: Best for complex queries and relational data caching. Store the JSON response in a database table, potentially using a JSON column type for flexibility.
Security and Monitoring
Securely store any necessary credentials using AWS Secrets Manager or Parameter Store.
Utilize IAM roles and policies to ensure secure access to AWS services.
Implement encryption for data in transit and at rest as necessary.
Use AWS CloudWatch for monitoring the Lambda function's execution and performance.
Implementation Example
Here's an example demonstrating how to cache a response in Amazon S3:

```py
import boto3
import json
import datetime
from dateutil import parser

s3 = boto3.client('s3')
bucket_name = 'your-s3-bucket'
object_key = 'cache/response.json'
cache_ttl_seconds = 3600  # Set the TTL for the cache in seconds, for example, 1 hour

def cache_response_in_s3(response_data):
    # Include the cache timestamp in the response_data
    response_data['cache_timestamp'] = datetime.datetime.utcnow().isoformat()
    s3.put_object(Bucket=bucket_name, Key=object_key, Body=json.dumps(response_data))

def is_cache_valid(last_modified_dt_str, cache_timestamp_str):
    current_time = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
    last_modified_dt = parser.parse(last_modified_dt_str)
    cache_timestamp = parser.parse(cache_timestamp_str)
    
    # Invalidate cache if the data was modified after caching or if cache TTL has expired
    if last_modified_dt > cache_timestamp or (current_time - cache_timestamp).total_seconds() > cache_ttl_seconds:
        return False
    return True

def get_cached_response_from_s3():
    try:
        response = s3.get_object(Bucket=bucket_name, Key=object_key)
        cached_data = json.loads(response['Body'].read())

        # Check if the cache is still valid based on 'last_attr_modified_dt' and the cache timestamp
        if is_cache_valid(cached_data.get('last_attr_modified_dt'), cached_data.get('cache_timestamp')):
            return cached_data
        else:
            # Cache is invalid, return None to indicate a fresh fetch is required
            return None
    except s3.exceptions.NoSuchKey:
        return None

```
