Amplify Gen2 function missing Vpc property

Description

Lambda function created using Amplify Gen2 do not have Vpc property just like other props such as timeoutSeconds, environment, memoryMB etc. defineFunction which is imported from @aws-amplify/backend module do not consists of Vpc configurations

Due to missing Vpc property, it is not possible to configure lambda function with VPC.

Workaround : Tried to override the lambda function resource by importing ec2.Vpc.fromVpcAttributes from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-ec2', however It is not possible to override the lambda function as amplify expects the lambda function to be passed inside defineBackend. The below code snippet do not work :

const backend = defineBackend({});

const functionStack = backend.createStack('functionStack');

const myVPC = ec2.Vpc.fromVpcAttributes(functionStack, 'Gen2Vpc',{
  vpcId: 'vpc-1234',
  availabilityZones: ['eu-central-1a', 'eu-central-1b'],
});

const lambda = new NodejsFunction(functionStack, 'myLambda', {
  // ... other props, 
  vpc: myVPC
});

Hey @nikhil123987, thank you for reaching out. Marking this as feature-request. to note you can utilize the Lambda function construct to build a custom function with a VPC.
