Creating Object Lambda Access Points - Amazon Simple Storage Service

Creating Object Lambda Access Points

An Object Lambda Access Point is associated with exactly one standard access point and thus one Amazon S3 bucket. To create an Object Lambda Access Point, you need the following resources:

  • An Amazon S3 bucket. For information about creating buckets, see Creating a bucket.

  • A standard S3 access point. When you're working with Object Lambda Access Points, this standard access point is known as a supporting access point. For information about creating standard access points, see Creating access points.

  • An AWS Lambda function. You can either create your own Lambda function, or you can use a prebuilt function. For more information about creating Lambda functions, see Writing Lambda functions for S3 Object Lambda Access Points. For more information about prebuilt functions, see Using AWS built Lambda functions.

  • (Optional) An AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy. Amazon S3 access points support IAM resource policies that you can use to control the use of the access point by resource, user, or other conditions. For more information about creating these policies, see Configuring IAM policies for Object Lambda Access Points.

The following sections describe how to create an Object Lambda Access Point by using:

  • The AWS Management Console

  • The AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)

  • An AWS CloudFormation template

  • The AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK)

For information about how to create an Object Lambda Access Point by using the REST API, see CreateAccessPointForObjectLambda in the Amazon Simple Storage Service API Reference.

Create an Object Lambda Access Point

Use one of the following procedures to create your Object Lambda Access Point.

To create an Object Lambda Access Point by using the console
  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/.

  2. In the navigation bar, choose the name of the currently displayed AWS Region. Next, choose the Region that you want to switch to.

  3. In the left navigation pane, choose Object Lambda Access Points.

  4. On the Object Lambda Access Points page, choose Create Object Lambda Access Point.

  5. For Object Lambda Access Point name, enter the name that you want to use for the access point.

    As with standard access points, there are rules for naming Object Lambda Access Points. For more information, see Rules for naming Amazon S3 access points.

  6. For Supporting Access Point, enter or browse to the standard access point that you want to use. The access point must be in the same AWS Region as the objects that you want to transform. For information about creating standard access points, see Creating access points.

  7. Under Transformation configuration, you can add a function that transforms your data for your Object Lambda Access Point. Do one of the following:

    • If you already have a AWS Lambda function in your account you can choose it under Invoke Lambda function. Here you may enter the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Lambda function in your AWS account or choose a Lambda function from the drop-down menu.

    • If you wish to use a AWS built function choose the function name under AWS built function and select Create Lambda function. This will take you to the Lambda console where you can deploy a built function into your AWS account. For more information about built functions, see Using AWS built Lambda functions.

    Under S3 APIs, choose one or more API operations to invoke. For each API selected you must specify a Lambda function to invoke.

  8. (Optional) Under Payload, add JSON text that you want to provide to your Lambda function as input. You can configure payloads with different parameters for different Object Lambda Access Points that invoke the same Lambda function, thereby extending the flexibility of your Lambda function.

    Important

    When you're using Object Lambda Access Points, make sure that the payload does not contain any confidential information.

  9. (Optional) For Range and part number, you must enable this option if you want to process GET and HEAD requests with range and part number headers. Enabling this option confirms that your Lambda function can recognize and process these requests. For more information about range headers and part numbers, see Working with Range and partNumber headers.

  10. (Optional) For Request metrics, choose Enable or Disable to add Amazon S3 monitoring to your Object Lambda Access Point. Request metrics are billed at the standard Amazon CloudWatch rate.

  11. (Optional) Under Object Lambda Access Point policy, set a resource policy. Resource policies grant permissions for the specified Object Lambda Access Point and can control the use of the access point by resource, user, or other conditions. For more information about Object Lambda Access Point resource policies see, Configuring IAM policies for Object Lambda Access Points.

  12. Under Block Public Access settings for this Object Lambda Access Point, select the block public access settings that you want to apply. All block public access settings are enabled by default for new Object Lambda Access Points, and we recommend that you leave default settings enabled. Amazon S3 currently doesn't support changing an Object Lambda Access Point's block public access settings after the Object Lambda Access Points has been created.

    For more information about using Amazon S3 Block Public Access, see Managing public access to access points.

  13. Choose Create Object Lambda Access Point.

To create an Object Lambda Access Point by using an AWS CloudFormation template
Note

To use the following commands, replace the user input placeholders with your own information.

  1. Download the AWS Lambda function deployment package s3objectlambda_deployment_package.zip at S3 Object Lambda default configuration.

  2. Run the following put-object command to upload the package to an Amazon S3 bucket.

    aws s3api put-object --bucket Amazon S3 bucket name --key s3objectlambda_deployment_package.zip --body release/s3objectlambda_deployment_package.zip
  3. Download the AWS CloudFormation template s3objectlambda_defaultconfig.yaml at S3 Object Lambda default configuration.

  4. Run the following deploy command to deploy the template to your AWS account.

    aws cloudformation deploy --template-file s3objectlambda_defaultconfig.yaml \ --stack-name AWS CloudFormation stack name \ --parameter-overrides ObjectLambdaAccessPointName=Object Lambda Access Point name \ SupportingAccessPointName=Amazon S3 access point S3BucketName=Amazon S3 bucket \ LambdaFunctionS3BucketName=Amazon S3 bucket containing your Lambda package \ LambdaFunctionS3Key=Lambda object key LambdaFunctionS3ObjectVersion=Lambda object version \ LambdaFunctionRuntime=Lambda function runtime --capabilities capability_IAM

You can configure this AWS CloudFormation template to invoke Lambda for GET, HEAD, and LIST API operations. For more information about modifying the template's default configuration, see Automate S3 Object Lambda setup with a CloudFormation template.

To create an Object Lambda Access Point by using the AWS CLI
Note

To use the following commands, replace the user input placeholders with your own information.

The following example creates an Object Lambda Access Point named my-object-lambda-ap for the bucket amzn-s3-demo-bucket1 in the account 111122223333. This example assumes that a standard access point named example-ap has already been created. For information about creating a standard access point, see Creating access points.

This example uses the AWS prebuilt function decompress. For more information about prebuilt functions, see Using AWS built Lambda functions.

  1. Create a bucket. In this example, we will use amzn-s3-demo-bucket1. For information about creating buckets, see Creating a bucket.

  2. Create a standard access point and attach it to your bucket. In this example, we will use example-ap. For information about creating standard access points, see Creating access points.

  3. Do one of the following:

  4. Create a JSON configuration file named my-olap-configuration.json. In this configuration, provide the supporting access point and the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the Lambda function that you created in the previous steps or the ARN for the prebuilt function that you're using.

    { "SupportingAccessPoint" : "arn:aws:s3:us-east-1:111122223333:accesspoint/example-ap", "TransformationConfigurations": [{ "Actions" : ["GetObject", "HeadObject", "ListObjects", "ListObjectsV2"], "ContentTransformation" : { "AwsLambda": { "FunctionPayload" : "{\"compressionType\":\"gzip\"}", "FunctionArn" : "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:111122223333:function/compress" } } }] }
  5. Run the create-access-point-for-object-lambda command to create your Object Lambda Access Point.

    aws s3control create-access-point-for-object-lambda --account-id 111122223333 --name my-object-lambda-ap --configuration file://my-olap-configuration.json
  6. (Optional) Create a JSON policy file named my-olap-policy.json.

    Adding an Object Lambda Access Point resource policy can control the use of the access point by resource, user, or other conditions. This resource policy grants the GetObject permission for account 444455556666 to the specified Object Lambda Access Point.

    { "Version": "2008-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "Grant account 444455556666 GetObject access", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "s3-object-lambda:GetObject", "Principal": { "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::444455556666:root" }, "Resource": "your-object-lambda-access-point-arn" } ] }
  7. (Optional) Run the put-access-point-policy-for-object-lambda command to set your resource policy.

    aws s3control put-access-point-policy-for-object-lambda --account-id 111122223333 --name my-object-lambda-ap --policy file://my-olap-policy.json
  8. (Optional) Specify a payload.

    A payload is optional JSON that you can provide to your AWS Lambda function as input. You can configure payloads with different parameters for different Object Lambda Access Points that invoke the same Lambda function, thereby extending the flexibility of your Lambda function.

    The following Object Lambda Access Point configuration shows a payload with two parameters.

    { "SupportingAccessPoint": "AccessPointArn", "CloudWatchMetricsEnabled": false, "TransformationConfigurations": [{ "Actions": ["GetObject", "HeadObject", "ListObjects", "ListObjectsV2"], "ContentTransformation": { "AwsLambda": { "FunctionArn": "FunctionArn", "FunctionPayload": "{\"res-x\": \"100\",\"res-y\": \"100\"}" } } }] }

    The following Object Lambda Access Point configuration shows a payload with one parameter, and with GetObject-Range, GetObject-PartNumber, HeadObject-Range, and HeadObject-PartNumber enabled.

    { "SupportingAccessPoint":"AccessPointArn", "CloudWatchMetricsEnabled": false, "AllowedFeatures": ["GetObject-Range", "GetObject-PartNumber", "HeadObject-Range", "HeadObject-PartNumber"], "TransformationConfigurations": [{ "Action": ["GetObject", "HeadObject", "ListObjects", "ListObjectsV2"], "ContentTransformation": { "AwsLambda": { "FunctionArn":"FunctionArn", "FunctionPayload": "{\"compression-amount\": \"5\"}" } } }] }
    Important

    When you're using Object Lambda Access Points, make sure that the payload does not contain any confidential information.

You can create an Object Lambda Access Point by using the default configuration provided by Amazon S3. You can download an AWS CloudFormation template and Lambda function source code from the GitHub repository and deploy these resources to set up a functional Object Lambda Access Point.

For information about modifying the AWS CloudFormation template's default configuration, see Automate S3 Object Lambda setup with a CloudFormation template.

For information about configuring Object Lambda Access Points by using AWS CloudFormation without the template, see AWS::S3ObjectLambda::AccessPoint in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.
