AWS introduces Lambda MicroVMs for isolated execution of user and AI-generated code

AWS Lambda MicroVMs Release

AWS introduces Lambda MicroVMs, a new serverless compute primitive that provides VM-level isolation, near-instant launch and resume speeds, and state preservation for executing user or AI-generated code. You can now give each user or job their own compute environment to securely run code without managing virtualization infrastructure or choosing between isolation, speed, and state retention.

Lambda MicroVMs is available today in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), and Europe (Ireland).

What to do

• Create a MicroVM image from your Dockerfile
• Launch MicroVMs from that image
• Give each user or job their own MicroVM with a dedicated HTTPS URL
• Use popular connectivity protocols such as HTTP/2, gRPC, and WebSockets
