AWS Lambda: Unable to access SQS Queue from a Lambda function with VPC access

Question

I have a Lambda function that needs to read messages from an SQS queue using it\'s URL. Then it needs to insert that data to Cassandra running on a server inside a VPC.

Answer 1

To clarify a point above about a "wide open" security group, the group set on the endpoint needs to allow inbound access to SQS from your lambda function.

I created a security group for my endpoint that only opened 443 to my lambda's security group.
