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 public 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 public NAT gateway for the VPC and bind an EIP to the gateway. For details, see Configuring a Fixed Public IP Address.

Added support for enabling IPv6 in the VPC configuration of a function. (available only in CN East2.)

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 all 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. (Optional) Configure the domain name.
   Enter one or more private domain names of the VPC so that the function can use them to access resources in this VPC. See Figure 1.

   

   1. For details about how to create a private domain name, see Creating a Private Zone.
   2. Functions can resolve only domain names of the A record set type. For details about how to add a record set, see Record Set Types and Configuration Rules.
5. (Optional) Configure the VPC CIDR block.
   Figure 2 VPC CIDR block
   
   

   • You can enter the VPC CIDR block used in the code to check whether it conflicts with FunctionGraph's VPC CIDR block.
   • This feature is not available in CN-Hong Kong, AP-Bangkok, AP-Singapore, AP-Jakarta, LA-Mexico City1, LA-Mexico City2, LA-Sao Paulo1, and LA-Santiago.
6. (Optional) Enable IPv6. Currently, this feature is available only in CN East2.
   1. Create a VPC and ensure that IPv6 is enabled in the default subnet configuration. For details, see Creating a VPC and Subnet.
   2. In the VPC and Subnet areas in step 3, select the created VPC and subnet.
   Figure 3 Enabling IPv6
   
   

   After the IPv6 function is enabled, the system automatically assigns an IPv6 CIDR block to the created subnet. Currently, the IPv6 CIDR block cannot be customized. Once enabled, this function cannot be disabled. For more information, see IPv6 Network.

7. 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 public 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. In the left navigation pane of the management console, choose Network > NAT Gateway to go to the NAT Gateway console. Then click Buy Public 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 Buying a Public NAT Gateway.
3. Click the public NAT gateway name. On the details page that is displayed, click Add SNAT Rule, set the rule, and click OK.
