Functions Instances for Firewall

By activating the Functions module, you can instantiate serverless functions in your Firewall at Azion, as well as set up the conditions for its execution. Available for Edge Application and Firewall products, its use allows you to run serverless functions in our robust distributed network of Edge Nodes, responding to events closer to the end user, ensuring greater scalability and availability.

How it works

In Firewall, you will have to activate the Functions module, so it is possible to use existing functions provided by Azion Marketplace. For example:

• Bot Manager Lite
• Secure Token
• JWT

When instantiating an Function, it is not possible to change its source code, just inform the arguments that will be passed to the context of the function’s execution, in JSON, through the Args tab.

To associate an execution trigger, you simply need to associate the instance with a Behavior of a Rules Engine Rule, in Request. Thus, when a request meets the criteria defined in the Rules Engine rules, the Function will be invoked and executed directly on Azion’s Edges Nodes.
