Question: Lets say you want to be able to have a private AWS lambda function that allows inbound/outbound from only 1 site eg: sharepoint site. How would you do that ? everything else has to be secured as possible

Great question! To restrict access to your AWS Lambda function to a specific site like SharePoint, you can leverage AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies. You can create a custom IAM policy for your Lambda function with a condition that allows access only if the request comes from the specified SharePoint site. Additionally, consider configuring VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) settings and use security groups to control inbound/outbound traffic more granularly. If you need more detailed steps or have specific scenarios in mind, feel free to ask for further guidance!
