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 You can’t modify the configuration of a published version, only the unpublished version.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 Amazon Web Services service, use AddPermission .
