title: Is there a way to assign a Static IP to a AWS Lambda without VPC?
body: <p>I am looking to assign a static IP to my Lambda which is being invoked via the API gateway. This is required because, the downstream system that i invoke from this lambda accepts web requests only from a Whitelisted IP.</p>
  
  <p>I am successful in achieving this via the VPC that i associate with my lambda. But VPC introduces a bad cold-start time which sometime ranges 12-16seconds. So i am looking for a way to prevent this cold start from the VPC, but at the same time assign a static IP to the lambda.</p>
