update-function-configuration¶

Description¶

Modify the version-specific settings of a Lambda function.

When you update a function, Lambda provisions an instance of the function and its supporting resources. If your function connects to a VPC, this process can take a minute. During this time, you can’t modify the function, but you can still invoke it. The LastUpdateStatus , LastUpdateStatusReason , and LastUpdateStatusReasonCode fields in the response from GetFunctionConfiguration indicate when the update is complete and the function is processing events with the new configuration. For more information, see Function States .

These settings can vary between versions of a function and are locked when you publish a version. You can’t modify the configuration of a published version, only the unpublished version.

To configure function concurrency, use PutFunctionConcurrency . To grant invoke permissions to an account or AWS service, use AddPermission .

Options¶

--function-name (string)

The name of the Lambda function.

Name formats

Function name - my-function .

Function ARN - arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:my-function .

Partial ARN - 123456789012:function:my-function .

The length constraint applies only to the full ARN. If you specify only the function name, it is limited to 64 characters in length.

--role (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the function’s execution role.

--handler (string)

--timeout (integer)

The amount of time that Lambda allows a function to run before stopping it. The default is 3 seconds. The maximum allowed value is 900 seconds.

--memory-size (integer)

The amount of memory available to the function at runtime. Increasing the function’s memory also increases its CPU allocation. The default value is 128 MB. The value can be any multiple of 1 MB.

--vpc-config (structure)

For network connectivity to AWS resources in a VPC, specify a list of security groups and subnets in the VPC. When you connect a function to a VPC, it can only access resources and the internet through that VPC. For more information, see VPC Settings .

JSON Syntax:

{
  "TargetArn": "string"
}

--kms-key-arn (string)

Mode -> (string)

The tracing mode.

Shorthand Syntax:

Mode=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Mode": "Active"|"PassThrough"

}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
