# Enabling Lambda VPC Internet Access

Get a function inside your network talking to the outside world

## What this does

Your function sits inside a private network and cannot reach anything on the internet, so calls out just fail. This builds the piece that lets it out: the NAT Gateway, the public and private subnet routing, and the security group updates that go with it.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Give my VPC function internet access
- Set up the routing it needs
- Fix a function that cannot reach outside

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Enabling Lambda VPC Internet Access

A Lambda function attached to VPC subnets can find itself unable to reach the internet at all. This enables that access by creating NAT Gateway infrastructure, configuring public and private subnet routing, and updating security groups.

Use it when a VPC-attached function cannot reach the internet.
