implementing AWS Step Functions Task State Timing Out After Migrating to New VPC

aws step-functions lambda vpc timeout json

I'm refactoring my project and I'm building a feature where I can't seem to get I'm working with timeouts with my AWS Step Functions state machine after migrating my Lambda function to a new VPC....... The state machine worked perfectly before the migration, but now, any task state that triggers the Lambda function is timing out after 60 seconds, even though my function usually completes in under 10 seconds. I ensured that the Lambda function has the necessary permissions to access the required VPC resources. The function is configured properly, and I verified that the VPC has the necessary subnets and security groups to allow outbound internet access. However, I'm getting the following behavior in my Step Functions execution history: ``` "Task timed out after 60.00 seconds" ``` Here's a snippet of my Step Functions definition: ```json { "Comment": "A Hello World example of the Amazon States Language", "StartAt": "MyLambdaTask", "States": { "MyLambdaTask": { "Type": "Task", "Resource": "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:123456789012:function:MyFunction", "TimeoutSeconds": 300, "End": true } } } ``` Additionally, I checked my Lambda function configuration. It is set to a maximum timeout of 300 seconds, and the VPC settings seem correct: ```json { "VpcConfig": { "SubnetIds": ["subnet-abc12345", "subnet-def67890"], "SecurityGroupIds": ["sg-0123456789abcdef0"] } } ``` I thought the scenario might be related to the network configuration, so I also created a NAT gateway for internet access, as the function requires access to an external API. However, even after confirming the NAT is correctly configured, the scenario continues. Has anyone experienced similar issues, or does anyone have suggestions on what could be misconfigured in the VPC or Lambda settings? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I recently upgraded to Json latest. I'd be grateful for any help. Any suggestions would be helpful.
