I wonder if Amazon will ever open Lambda up to any Docker image? (I know it's possible to run binaries, but its a bit of a pain to compile with the Amazon AMI, etc.) Being able to have a bunch of `docker run` with any image would be pretty powerful.

Check out Hyper. https://www.hyper.sh/ https://www.hyper.sh/ "With HyperContainer, we make the performance/overhead of virtualized container similar to linux container --- 130ms launch time, and sharing the read-only part of memory (kernel and init)." -gnawux https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12873089 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12873089

Yes. First step was https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-amazon-linux-container-image-for-cloud-and-on-premises-workloads/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-amazon-linux-container-.... Layering Lambda's image on top of that to assist people building and testing is definitely on our roadmap.

  What about running lambda on custom AMIs ? Is that even remotely feasible one day ?
