Creating Functions Using Pre-Built Functions

Find out how to create functions and applications with OCI Functions using pre-built functions.

Overview

Pre-built Functions (PBFs) provide you with a catalog of ready-to-use tasks or actions implemented using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Functions. You don't need to write, build, package, and maintain function code. Pre-built functions can leverage the existing integration between OCI Functions and other OCI services (such as Event Rules, and Connector Hub) to offer a seamless integration experience.

Examples of pre-built function tasks include:

  • Automatically rotate the database secrets and generate newer versions in Vault.
  • Send logs or metrics from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring to external systems like Splunk using OCI Functions and Connector Hub.
  • Clean up orphaned resources in a tenancy given a certain age in days.
  • Read a zipped file from Object Store, unzip it, and push it to an Object Store.
  • Zip files in an object storage bucket and store the zipped file in a destination bucket.

Navigating to a Pre-Built Function

To navigate to pre-built functions from the OCI menu, perform the following steps:

  1. Sign in to the Console as a functions developer.
  2. Open the navigation menu and click Developer Services. Under Functions, click Pre-Built Functions.

    The console displays the Pre-Built Functions page, showing a list of the pre-built functions you can select.

Select Pre-Built Function

After navigating to the Pre-Built Functions page, select the function to create. The following pre-built function catalog pages provide details about each function:
