1. Managing Runtime Configuration for a Lambda Function

    TypeScript

    Managing runtime configuration for a Lambda function involves several key aspects, such as setting the appropriate memory size, timeout, environment variables, Lambda layers, and concurrency settings. These configurations dictate how the Lambda function will behave when invoked.

    Below is a Pulumi program in TypeScript that demonstrates how to create an AWS Lambda function with certain runtime configurations using the AWS provider. This function has a predefined memory size, execution timeout, and an environment variable.

    Make sure you have your AWS credentials configured for Pulumi to interact with your AWS account. If you're using the AWS CLI, Pulumi will respect the configuration and credentials set up for it.

    Firstly, we import the necessary modules from the @pulumi/aws package. Then we create a new Lambda function by instantiating aws.lambda.Function. Within the configuration, we specify settings for memory, timeout, and environment variables.

    Program Explanation and Example

    import * as pulumi from '@pulumi/pulumi'; import * as aws from '@pulumi/aws'; // Create an AWS Lambda function with specific runtime configurations const lambdaFunction = new aws.lambda.Function('myLambdaFunction', { // The runtime environment for the Lambda function runtime: aws.lambda.NodeJS12dXRuntime, // The path to the function's deployment package within the local filesystem code: new pulumi.asset.FileArchive('./path/to/your/code.zip'), // The function entrypoint in your code handler: 'index.handler', // The IAM role that the function will assume role: aws.iam.Role.get('lambdaExecutionRole', 'your-existing-role-arn').arn, // The amount of memory available to the function at runtime. memorySize: 128, // The maximum amount of time the function is allowed to run per execution. timeout: 30, // Environment variables that will be accessible from function code during execution. environment: { variables: { "EXAMPLE_VARIABLE": "exampleValue", }, }, }); // Outputs export const lambdaFunctionName = lambdaFunction.name; export const lambdaFunctionArn = lambdaFunction.arn;

    Resource Explanation

    • aws.lambda.Function: This is the fundamental resource for AWS Lambda. In the configuration, you provide properties like runtime, code, handler, and role which are essential for setting up a Lambda function's runtime behavior. (AWS Lambda Function Resource Documentation)

      • runtime: Specifies the runtime environment for the Lambda function. AWS Lambda supports multiple languages; the sample uses NodeJS12dXRuntime, assuming your code is written in Node.js.

      • code: The deployment package within the local filesystem or from an S3 bucket that contains your Lambda function code.

      • handler: The method within your code that Lambda calls to begin execution. For Node.js, it is usually in the format file.method.

      • role: The ARN of the IAM role that AWS Lambda assumes when it executes your function to access any other AWS resources.

      • memorySize: The amount of memory allocated to your Lambda function at runtime. More memory also results in proportionally more CPU available to your function.

      • timeout: The maximum amount of time that Lambda allows a function to run per execution. If the function's execution time reaches this limit, AWS Lambda terminates the function.

      • environment: Enables you to provide environment variables that your function can use.

    In this example, the Lambda function is configured with a memory size of 128 MB, a timeout of 30 seconds, and an environment variable EXAMPLE_VARIABLE.

    The code should point to a ZIP file that contains your Lambda function's code and any dependencies it might need. Make sure the ZIP file is structured in a way that the handler can be found at the specified path.

    You need to replace './path/to/your/code.zip' with the path to your actual Lambda function's deployment package. Additionally, replace 'your-existing-role-arn' with the ARN of an IAM role that has the necessary permissions for the Lambda function to execute successfully.

    After deploying this Pulumi program, you will get the Lambda function's name and ARN as stack outputs, which you might use for integration with other services like API Gateway or event sources such as S3 or SNS.
