Configuring the Network

Public Access

By default, functions can access services on public networks. If the target public network service requires whitelist verification using a fixed IP address, enable VPC access, configure a NAT gateway for the VPC, and bind an Elastic IP (EIP) to the gateway. For details, see Configuring a Fixed Public IP Address

Configuring VPC Access

Functions can access resources in a VPC bound to it. If a function needs both VPC and public access, configure a NAT gateway for the VPC and bind an EIP to the gateway. For details, see Configuring a Fixed Public IP Address.

Required Permissions

Configure an agency by referring to Configuring Agency Permissions.

• Permissions for VPC access: an agency with the VPC Administrator permission or with the least permissions listed in Table 1

  Table 1 Least permissions required

  Permission	Action
  Deleting a port	vpc:ports:delete
  Querying a port	vpc:ports:get
  Creating a port	vpc:ports:create
  Querying a VPC	vpc:vpcs:get
  Querying a subnet	vpc:subnets:get

• Permissions for private domain name resolution: an agency with the DNS ReadOnlyAccess permission

Procedure

1. Log in to the FunctionGraph console. In the navigation pane, choose Functions > Function List.
2. Click the function to be configured to go to the function details page.
3. Choose Configuration > Network, enable VPC Access, and specify a VPC and subnet.
   

   1. For details on how to create a VPC and a subnet, see Creating a VPC.
   2. Specify an agency with VPC administrator permissions for the function. For details, see Configuring Agency Permissions.
   3. You can bind functions in a project to up to four different subnets in any VPCs. (Each project has a unique 32-digit project ID, which is allocated when your account is created. The project IDs of your account and IAM user are the same.)
4. Click Save.

Configuring a Fixed Public IP Address

If a function needs to access public network resources in a VPC or requires a fixed public IP address, configure a NAT gateway for the VPC and bind an EIP to the gateway.

Prerequisites

1. You have created a VPC and a subnet according to Creating a VPC.
2. You have obtained an EIP according to Assigning an EIP.

Procedure

1. Log in to the NAT Gateway console, and click Create NAT Gateway.
2. On the displayed page, enter gateway information, select a VPC (for example, vpc-01) and subnet, and confirm and submit the settings. For details, see Creating a Public NAT Gateway.
3. Click the NAT gateway name. On the details page that is displayed, click Add SNAT Rule, set the rule, and click OK.
