      Deployment Methods

      Tencent Cloud SCF provides the following function deployment methods. For more information about how to create and update a function, see Create and Update a Function.
      Uploading and deploying a zip package, as instructed in Installing and Deploying Dependencies.
      Editing and deploying functions via the console, as instructed in Deploying Functions.
      Using the command line, as instructed in Deployment Through Serverless Framework CLI.

      Installing and Deploying Dependencies

      Currently, the SCF standard Python Runtime only supports writing to the /tmp directory, and other directories are read-only. Therefore, you need to install, package and upload the local dependent library for use. The Python dependency package can be uploaded with function codes to the cloud, or uploaded to the layer that will be bound to the required function.

      Locally installing dependency packages

      Dependency manager

      In Python, dependencies can be managed with the pip package manager. Replace pip with pip3 or pip2 according to the environment configurations.

      Directions

      1. Configure dependency information in requirements.txt.
      2. Run the pip install -r requirements.txt -t . command under the code directory to install the dependency package. You can use the -t parameter to specify the installation directory, or directly run -t . under the project’s code directory to install the dependency package in the current directory.
      Note:
      Use the pip freeze > requirements.txt command to generate a requirements.txt file that contains all dependencies of the current environment.
      Because the function is running on CentOS 7, install the dependency package in the same environment to avoid errors. For detailed directions, see Using Container Image.
      If some dependencies require dynamic link library, please manually copy these dependencies to the installation directory, and then package them for uploading. For more information, see Installing Dependency with Docker.

      Sample

      1. Use the index.py code file shown below to install the requests dependency locally.
      # -*- coding: utf8 -*-
      import requests
      
      def main_handler(event, context):
           addr = "www.qq.com"
           resp = requests.get(addr)
           print(resp)
           return resp
      2. Run the pip3 install requests -t . command to install the requests dependency under the current directory of the project. The code file is as follows:
      $ pip3 install requests -t .

      Packaging and uploading

      You can upload dependencies together with the project, and use them through the import statement in function codes. You can also package and deploy dependencies to a layer, and bind the layer to a function being created to reuse them.
      The zip package for deploying functions or layers can be generated automatically by a local folder via the console or manually. All the packaging should be under the project directory to place codes and dependencies in the root directory of the zip package. For more information, see Packaging requirements.

      Special dependency packages

      Some Python dependencies such as the pycryptodome dependency need to be compiled for installation. Because the compilation varies with the operating system, the dependent library, dynamic library, and other programs compiled on Windows or Mac may be unable to run in the SCF environment. The following solutions are recommended.
      Use the dependent library that is ready for FaaS open source implementations.
      Search dependencies or submit requirements in the SCF public layer. This layer collects and stores special dependency packages, and provides the deployment support.
      Use the container solution and SCF container image to install and extract special dependencies locally, and then package and upload them to the code runtime environment.
