CreateWebFunctionEndpoint

Creates an endpoint for a web function. An endpoint exposes the web function over HTTPS and routes traffic to one or more revisions.

To use this operation, you must have the CreateWebFunctionEndpoint permission on the web function, not on the endpoint being created.

URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

functionName

The web function to create the endpoint for.

You can specify either of the following:

The function name, for example my-function.
The function ARN.

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

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

Required: Yes

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

authType

The authorization type for the endpoint.

Valid values:

ApplicationManaged – Your application handles authorization.
IamAuth – Lambda uses IAM to authorize requests, which must be signed with Signature Version 4 (SigV4).

Type: String

Valid Values: ApplicationManaged | IamAuth

Required: Yes

autoDeploymentMode

The auto-deployment mode for the endpoint. Controls whether the endpoint automatically serves the newest revision. If you don't specify a value, the default is Disabled, and this default is returned in the response.

Valid values:

LatestRevision – The endpoint automatically serves the newest revision.
Disabled – Revision routing stays fixed until you change it.

Type: String

Valid Values: LatestRevision | Disabled

Required: No

description

A description of the endpoint.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 256.

Required: No

endpointName

The name of the endpoint to create. The name can contain letters, numbers, hyphens (-), and underscores (_), and can't begin or end with a hyphen or an underscore. The name is limited to 64 characters in length.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

Required: Yes

endpointType

The type of endpoint to create. Determines how traffic is served and routed across Regions.

Valid values:

HomeRegion – Serves traffic from the Region where you created the web function.
MultiRegion – Replicates across the Regions that you choose and routes each request to the nearest one.
PerRegion – Creates a separate endpoint in each Region that you choose.

Type: String

Valid Values: HomeRegion | MultiRegion | PerRegion

Required: Yes

regions

The list of Regions for the endpoint. Required when the endpoint type is MultiRegion or PerRegion: specify at least one Region other than the Region where you create the endpoint (the home Region). The home Region is added automatically if you don't include it; specifying only the home Region isn't allowed. When the endpoint type is HomeRegion, omit this field or specify only the home Region.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 100 items.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 50.

Pattern: ([a-z]{2,}-){2,}[0-9]

Required: No

revisionWeights

A list of revision weights that determine how traffic is distributed across revisions. You can specify up to two revisions for canary or blue-green deployments.

Type: Array of RevisionWeight objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 2 items.

Required: No

scalingConfig

The scaling configuration for the endpoint. There is no default value. If you don't specify a scaling configuration, it is absent from the response.

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Error Types.

AccessDeniedException

You don't have permission to perform this operation. Check the IAM policies for your identity and any resource-based policy on the web function.

message: A message describing the access denied error.

HTTP Status Code: 403

ConflictException

The request conflicts with the current state of the resource. For example, the resource is being modified by another request, you tried to delete a revision that is serving traffic on an endpoint, or the policy revision ID that you specified doesn't match the current policy. Resolve the conflict and try again.

message: A message describing the conflict.
resourceId: The identifier of the resource in conflict.
resourceType: The type of the resource in conflict.

HTTP Status Code: 409

InternalServerException

The request failed because of an internal error in the service. Retry the request. If the error persists, open a support case.

message: A message describing the internal error.

HTTP Status Code: 500

ResourceNotFoundException

The specified web function, revision, endpoint, or resource-based policy doesn't exist. Verify the resource identifier and try again.

message: A message describing the resource not found error.
resourceId: The identifier of the resource that was not found.
resourceType: The type of the resource that was not found.

HTTP Status Code: 404

ServiceQuotaExceededException

The request would exceed a service quota, such as the maximum number of web functions in your account or the maximum number of revisions or endpoints per web function. Request a quota increase or reduce usage and try again.

message: A message describing the quota that was exceeded.
quotaCode: The quota code of the exceeded quota.
resourceId: The identifier of the resource that exceeded the quota.
resourceType: The type of resource that exceeded the quota.
serviceCode: The service code of the service that owns the quota.

HTTP Status Code: 402

message: A message describing the throttling error.
quotaCode: The quota code that was exceeded, if applicable.
retryAfterSeconds: The number of seconds to wait before retrying the request.
serviceCode: The service code of the throttled service.

HTTP Status Code: 429
