User-defined network connectors between serverless functions and isolated cloud resources

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for facilitating network traffic between serverless function executions and isolated cloud resources within virtualized network environments. Virtualized network environments, by default, may be isolated such that external traffic is not permitted to enter the environment. Permissions for traffic that may enter the environment are often set on the basis of network addresses. In the context of serverless functions, such permissions may be difficult to establish because executions of serverless functions can occur on a dynamically selected environment without a fixed network address. The present disclosure provides for creation of user-defined connectors that facilitate routing of network traffic between executions of serverless functions and user virtualized network environments without requiring that routing occur on the bases of network addresses.
