### Semantic Conventions

- Clean up FaaS semantic conventions, add `aws.lambda.invoked_arn`.
([#1781](https:/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/pull/1781))
- Remove `rpc.jsonrpc.method`, clarify that `rpc.method` should be used instead.
([#1748](https:/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/pull/1748))

The string replacement or that "the same runtime instance may be invokable with multiple different aliases"? Yes, I verified both. You can easily produce that scenario with the Lambda console UI by creating two different aliases for $LATEST and then you can test both and you will see that the logs end up in the same logstream without restart.

You can even test it without creating an extra alias. E.g. using aws lambda invoke --function-name 'arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:12345:function:myfunction:$LATEST will end up with a different invoked ARN than just aws lambda invoke --function-name 'arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:12345:function:myfunction, but the same invoked version & log stream.

[alias suffix](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-aliases.html) with the resolved function version, as the same runtime instance may be invokable with multiple
different aliases.
* **GCP:** The [URI of the resource](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/full-resource-names)
* **Azure:** The [Fully Qualified Resource ID](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/resources/resources/get-by-id).

On some providers, it may not be possible to determine the full ID at startup,
which is why this field cannot be made required. For example, on AWS the account ID
part of the ARN is not available without calling another AWS API
which may be deemed too slow for a short-running lambda function.
As an alternative, consider setting `faas.id` as a span attribute instead.
