- AWS Lambda MicroVMs provide VM-level isolation, near-instant launch/resume, and state preservation for executing user or AI-generated code.
- It enables secure, multi-tenant applications (e.g., interactive coding environments, data analytics) by allocating isolated environments per user or session.
- Built on Firecracker virtualization, it eliminates trade-offs between isolation, speed, and state retention, supporting suspension/resumption for up to 8 hours.
- MicroVMs are created from Dockerfiles and offer dedicated HTTPS URLs with support for HTTP/2, gRPC, and WebSockets.
- Available in select AWS regions (e.g., US East, US West, Tokyo, Ireland) with pay-for-use pricing for baseline and additional resources.
