Hey Everyone,
Thanks again for the great discussion around AWS Lambda earlier.
I have to make one significant correction, however. It turns out you cannot
use a custom AMI with AWS Lambda. I apologize for the incorrect information.
I knew the notion of a custom AMI was contrary to what AWS Lambda is, but I
thought it was nonetheless an option. AWS has several deployment mechanisms
and I mixed up the capabilities of other support mechanisms with those of
Lambda.
There is some control over the execution environment, and you can bundle up
libraries for your language runtime - I believe including binaries that are
compatible with the AWS AMI where needed by the library - but providing
your own AMI is not possible.
As per AWS FAQs (https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/faqs/):
*Q: Can I change the version of Amazon Linux or any language runtime? *
No. AWS Lambda offers a single version of the operating system and language
runtime to all users of the service.
Bill
