AWS Lambda Managed Instances expands to additional AWS Regions

AWS Lambda Managed Instances (LMI) is now available in all commercial AWS Regions, except Israel (Tel Aviv), Middle East (Bahrain), Middle East (UAE), and Asia Pacific (Auckland).

LMI lets you run Lambda functions on managed Amazon EC2 instances, giving you access to specialized compute configurations and EC2 pricing advantages while maintaining Lambda's operational simplicity. LMI fully manages instance lifecycle, OS and runtime patching, routing, load balancing, and auto-scaling, so you can focus on writing code. You can process parallel requests within each execution environment, maximizing resource utilization and improving price-performance. You can further improve costs by leveraging EC2 pricing models including Compute Savings Plans and Reserved Instances. LMI is ideal for customers requiring specialized hardware configurations, as well as those with steady-state or predictable workloads seeking to optimize costs.

You can continue building functions with familiar development workflows, including the Console and your preferred IDEs. To get started, create a capacity provider that defines your compute preferences, including VPC configuration, optional instance requirements, and scaling policies. Then, attach your Lambda functions to the capacity provider via the AWS Lambda Console, APIs, or Infrastructure as Code tooling. LMI integrates seamlessly with all Lambda event sources and tools like Amazon CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray, and AWS Config.
