Last Updated:Sep 04, 2023

This topic describes the release notes for Function Compute and provides references.

July 2023

Feature

Description

Reference

ApsaraMQ for MQTT triggers

New

After ApsaraMQ for MQTT is integrated with Function Compute by using EventBridge, functions can be triggered by using ApsaraMQ for MQTT triggers. The functions can process messages that are published to ApsaraMQ for MQTT.

ApsaraMQ for MQTT triggers

Apache RocketMQ triggers

New

After you integrate Apache RocketMQ with Function Compute by using EventBridge, you can use an Apache RocketMQ trigger to trigger a function and process the messages that are published to Apache RocketMQ based on your business requirements.

Create an Apache RocketMQ trigger

DataWorks

New

DataWorks provides Function Compute nodes. You can use Function Compute nodes to periodically schedule event processing functions and complete integration and joint scheduling with other types of nodes.

DataWorks

Regional availability

New

Function Compute is supported in the South Korea (Seoul) region.

Description

Reference

Lists of client bad requests

Performance improvement

A client bad request is an abnormal request that fails to be processed by a function due to reasons such as incorrect parameters, insufficient permissions, or disconnections. You can view all client bad requests on the Logs > Client Bad Requests tab Function Compute.

Monitoring metrics

Regional availability

New

Function Compute is supported in the Thailand (Bangkok) region.

Reference

Instance-level events

New

In Function Compute, an event is a key change in the state of an instance. You can view the events of an instance on the instance details page. Instance-level events allow you to observe the lifecycle of an instance and locate execution exceptions.

Instance-level events

DTS triggers

New

Data Transmission Service (DTS) can be integrated as an event source in EventBridge. You can use a DTS trigger to trigger the execution of functions in Function Compute. The functions can be used to process real-time incremental database data obtained from change tracking tasks in DTS.

DTS triggers

Support of JWT in HTTP triggers

New

Function Compute allows you to enable the JWT authentication for HTTP triggers. Function Compute use a public JWKS that is bound to an HTTP trigger to implement JWT authentication for HTTP invocations. The claims are forwarded to functions as parameters based on the configurations of the HTTP trigger. Your functions do not need to authenticate requests. You only need to focus on business logic.

Encrypted data transfer in NAS

New

When you configure an Apsara File Storage NAS (NAS) file system for a Function Compute service, you can encrypt the transmission paths of general-purpose NAS data.

February 2023

Feature

Type

Description

Reference

GPU-accelerated instances

Optimization

  • GPU-accelerated instances of the Tesla T4 card type and the Ampere A10 card type are supported.

  • The GPU size can be configured separately from the memory and vCPU specifications.

Instance types and instance modes

Dedicated WebIDE

New

Dedicated WebIDE is supported. Dedicated WebIDE allows the instance to load custom layers and the mounted Apsara File Storage NAS (NAS) file system and OSS bucket. You can access the VPC configured for the service. This way, the environments of the terminal and online runtimes are the same.

Description

Reference

Rewrite policy

New

The rewrite policy allows you to modify the request URI. You can configure a rewrite policy to modify the request URI that passes through a custom domain name to a function.

Configure rewrite policies (in public review)

Runtimes

New

The following runtime environments are added in Function Compute:

  • Python 3.10

  • Debian 10 (Custom Runtime)

Web application firewall (WAF) protection for custom domain names

New

WAF 3.0 detects malicious traffic that is directed to your functions and applications and redirects normal and secure traffic to backend functions to prevent intrusions.

After you integrate WAF 3.0 with Function Compute, WAF 3.0 can be used to protect custom domain names and can provide end-to-end security protection for your websites and applications.

Enable WAF

Function stress test

New

You can perform stress tests on a function to test the performance of the function. Stress tests help you obtain the maximum performance (the upper limit of QPS) of an instance and the optimal concurrency value that meets the end-to-end latency requirements. This helps you configure the concurrency. In addition, you can use the recommended instance types to reduce costs.

Function performance test

ObjectModified events

New

The ObjectModified event type is added to the OSS trigger. Function Compute allows you to modify the properties of an object by calling the UpdateObjectMeta operation.

Overview of OSS event triggers

Custom wildcard domain names

New

Custom domain names can be bound to a web application in Function Compute. Wildcard domain names, such as a *.aliyun.com, are supported in custom domain names of Function Compute.

Configure a custom domain name
