enabling-lambda-vpc-internet-access
Enables internet access for AWS Lambda functions deployed in VPC subnets by creating NAT Gateway infrastructure, configuring public/private subnet routing, and updating security groups. Use when a VPC-attached Lambda function cannot reach the internet.
Resumen
Enabling Lambda VPC Internet Access
Overview
Domain expertise for enabling internet access from AWS Lambda functions running inside VPC private subnets. Lambda functions in a VPC cannot receive public IP addresses, so outbound internet access requires NAT Gateway infrastructure that routes traffic from private subnets through a public subnet to an Internet Gateway.
Enable internet access for a VPC Lambda function
To set up NAT Gateway infrastructure and configure routing for a Lambda function that needs internet access, follow the procedure exactly. See Lambda VPC internet access setup procedure.
Troubleshooting
NAT Gateway not working
Verify the route table associated with the Lambda subnets has a 0.0.0.0/0 route pointing to the NAT Gateway. See the full procedure for details.
Lambda function timeout
Check that security group outbound rules allow the necessary ports and that both the NAT Gateway and Internet Gateway are properly configured.
Network changes not taking effect
VPC networking changes can take 1–2 minutes to propagate. Wait before testing after creating a NAT Gateway or updating route tables.
Route table association issues
Confirm the Lambda function's subnets are associated with the route table that has the 0.0.0.0/0 route to the NAT Gateway.

- aws-iamawsProvides verified corrections for IAM behaviors that AI agents frequently get wrong — policy evaluation edge cases, trust policy gotchas, STS session limits, Organizations quirks, and SAML/MFA specifics. Also provides structured workflows for IAM role management and baseline policy generation from application source code or a Terraform plan JSON. Covers condition operator safety (ForAnyValue/ForAllValues with Null checks), bucket policy deny patterns (VPC endpoint restrictions, org paths), confused deputy protection, and service role creation for AWS services (Glue, CloudTrail, Lambda, ECS, etc.) with aws:SourceAccount/aws:SourceArn trust conditions. Applies when creating IAM roles, writing IAM or bucket policies, generating policies from application source code or a Terraform plan JSON, working with STS, Organizations, or condition operators, or any task needing a service or execution role. Does not cover non-IAM authorization like Cognito user-pool policies or app-level RBAC.9,200 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- aws-serverlessawsBuilds, deploys, manages, debugs, configures, and optimizes serverless applications on AWS using Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, EventBridge, and SAM/CDK. Covers cold starts, CORS debugging, event source mappings, troubleshooting, concurrency, SnapStart, Powertools, function URLs, EventBridge Scheduler, Lambda layers, and production readiness. Triggers on mentions of Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, SAM templates, CDK serverless stacks, DynamoDB stream triggers, SQS event sources, cold starts, timeouts, 502/504 errors, throttling, concurrency, CORS, Powertools, or any event-driven architecture on AWS, even without the word "serverless." Does not apply to EC2, ECS/Fargate containers, or Amplify hosting.9,000 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- aws-observabilityawsBuilds, configures, debugs, and optimizes AWS observability - operator-symptom questions and detecting Omni vs classic CloudWatch. CloudWatch on an already-reporting service: Log Insights, metric/composite/anomaly alarms, custom metrics/EMF, dashboards, X-Ray/ADOT tracing, canaries, CloudTrail, Dynamic Instrumentation (live breakpoints/snapshots), the Application Signals service map, and fleet health views. CloudWatch Omni on an existing Space: SQL over logs and traces, PromQL over metrics, Omni dashboards, Omni alerts, context graph for root cause, programmatic/IaC access (API/SDK/CLI/CloudFormation), driving Omni from a coding agent or skills, and evaluating AI agent quality from traces - on-demand and online scoring of live traffic, readback, custom evaluators. For first-time setup - creating an Omni Space, granting access, ingestion, or ADOT instrumentation for Application Signals (ServiceEvents, CI/CD metadata) or Omni - use setting-up-cloudwatch-observability. Not for app logging or threat detection.8,900 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- aws-cdkawsAuthors, deploys, and troubleshoots AWS infrastructure using CDK with TypeScript or Python. Covers best practices, stack architecture, and construct patterns. Applies when writing CDK constructs, bootstrapping environments, running cdk deploy/synth/diff, fixing CDK or CloudFormation errors, planning stack structure, importing existing resources, resolving drift, or refactoring stacks without resource replacement.8,400 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- aws-containersawsBuilds and deploys containerized workloads on Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Elastic Container Service (ECS), Fargate, and ECR (Elastic Container Registry). Covers general EKS knowledge, Karpenter, AWS Load Balancer Controller and leveraging various open source Kubernetes projects with EKS. Covers general ECS knowledge, task definitions, Fargate services, ECS Exec, ECS Express Mode and ECS Managed Instances. Covers general Elastic Beanstalk knowledge, Elastic Beanstalk configuration and platforms supported by Elastic Beanstalk. Covers general ECR knowledge, ECR repository setup and lifecycle policies. Includes recommending, enabling, and reading Amazon ECS Action Logs to troubleshoot control-plane failures (deployment rollback/circuit-breaker, task placement, scaling, task replacement). Applies when deploying, debugging, or optimizing containers on AWS. Should be used instead of relying on internal knowledge for these services.8,300 instalaciones en skills.sh0
