AWS Lambda MicroVMs
The AWS MCP server is recommended for sandboxed execution and audit logging.
AWS Lambda MicroVMs are serverless compute environments that combine Firecracker VM isolation with container-like efficiency. Each MicroVM:
- Runs your application as a container inside a Firecracker microVM — you can reproduce the environment locally.
- Runs Amazon Linux 2023 as the base OS inside the MicroVM.
- Boots from a memory + disk snapshot captured at image build time, so application init is skipped on run.
- Has a dedicated, TLS-terminated HTTPS endpoint reachable with an auth token.
- Can be suspended and resumed with state preserved; lives up to 8 hours.
Two-resource model:
MicrovmImage— a versioned artifact built from{S3 zip with Dockerfile} + baseImageArn. Each version has per-architecture/chipsetBuilds.Microvm— a running instance created (RunMicrovm) from an image version.
