Module: lambda-function

This module deploys an AWS Lambda function from a Zip file or from a Docker image. Additionally, it creates an IAM role for the Lambda function, which optionally attaches policies to allow for CloudWatch Logs, Cloudwatch Insights, VPC Access and X-Ray tracing.

Usage

For a complete example, see examples/complete. For automated tests of the complete example using bats and Terratest (which tests and deploys the example on AWS), see test.

source = "cloudposse/lambda-function/aws"

Inputs

NameDescriptionTypeDefaultRequired
additional_tag_mapAdditional key-value pairs to add to each map in tags_as_list_of_maps. Not added to tags or id.
This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags
and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.
map(string){}no
architecturesInstruction set architecture for your Lambda function. Valid values are ["x86_64"] and ["arm64"].
Default is ["x86_64"]. Removing this attribute, function's architecture stay the same.
list(string)nullno
attributesID element. Additional attributes (e.g. workers or cluster) to add to id,
in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the
end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the delimiter
and treated as a single ID element.
list(string)[]no
cloudwatch_lambda_insights_enabledEnable CloudWatch Lambda Insights for the Lambda Function.boolfalseno
cloudwatch_logs_kms_key_arnThe ARN of the KMS Key to use when encrypting log data.stringnullno
cloudwatch_logs_retention_in_daysSpecifies the number of days you want to retain log events in the specified log group. Possible values are:
1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 365, 400, 545, 731, 1827, 3653, and 0. If you select 0, the events in the
log group are always retained and never expire.
numbernullno
contextSingle object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.

dead_letter_config_target_arnARN of an SNS topic or SQS queue to notify when an invocation fails. If this option is used, the function's IAM role
must be granted suitable access to write to the target object, which means allowing either the sns:Publish or
sqs:SendMessage action on this ARN, depending on which service is targeted."
stringnullno
delimiterDelimiter to be used between ID elements.
Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.

descriptionDescription of what the Lambda Function does.stringnullno
descriptor_formatsDescribe additional descriptors to be output in the descriptors output map.
Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form
{<br/> format = string<br/> labels = list(string)<br/>}
(Type is any so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.)
format is a Terraform format string to be passed to the format() function.
labels is a list of labels, in order, to pass to format() function.
Label values will be normalized before being passed to format() so they will be
identical to how they appear in id.
Default is {} (descriptors output will be empty).

ephemeral_storage_sizeThe size of the Lambda function Ephemeral storage (/tmp) represented in MB.
The minimum supported ephemeral_storage value defaults to 512MB and the maximum supported value is 10240MB.

id_length_limitLimit id to this many characters (minimum 6).
Set to 0 for unlimited length.
Set to null for keep the existing setting, which defaults to 0.
Does not affect id_full.
numbernullno
image_configThe Lambda OCI image configurations
block with three (optional) arguments:
- entry_point - The ENTRYPOINT for the docker image (type list(string)).
- command - The CMD for the docker image (type list(string)).
- working_directory - The working directory for the docker image (type string).
any{}no
image_uriThe ECR image URI containing the function's deployment package. Conflicts with filename, s3_bucket, s3_key, and s3_object_version.stringnullno
kms_key_arnAmazon Resource Name (ARN) of the AWS Key Management Service (KMS) key that is used to encrypt environment variables.
If this configuration is not provided when environment variables are in use, AWS Lambda uses a default service key.
If this configuration is provided when environment variables are not in use, the AWS Lambda API does not save this
configuration and Terraform will show a perpetual difference of adding the key. To fix the perpetual difference,
remove this configuration.
string""no
label_key_caseControls the letter case of the tags keys (label names) for tags generated by this module.
Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper.
Default value: title.
stringnullno
label_orderThe order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the id.
Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"].
You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present.
list(string)nullno
label_value_caseControls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in id,
set as tag values, and output by this module individually.
Does not affect values of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper and none (no transformation).
Set this to title and set delimiter to "" to yield Pascal Case IDs.
Default value: lower.
stringnullno
labels_as_tagsSet of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the tags output.
Default is to include all labels.
Tags with empty values will not be included in the tags output.
Set to [] to suppress all generated tags.
Notes:
The value of the name tag, if included, will be the id, not the name.
Unlike other null-label inputs, the initial setting of labels_as_tags cannot be
changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.
