VPC for lambda functionsΒΆ

  • VPC are Virtual Private Clouds
    • Many companies use VPC to privately deploy their applications
    • By default Lambda functions are not launched in a VPC

  • But you can launch lambda in your VPC, so that your lambda functions can securely access your resources.

  • You can also assign security groups to your lambda functions as well for enhanced network security.

  • You can choose to deploy your lambda function in any subnets you like.
  • This will allow your lambda function to inherit a private IP from that subnet.
