AWS Lambda MicroVMs is now available in 4 additional AWS regions
AWS Lambda MicroVMs expands to four new regions, bringing the total to 14, to support isolated, stateful compute closer to users for latency and data residency needs.
AWS Lambda MicroVMs is now available in Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Asia Pacific (Thailand), and Europe (Spain), increasing the total number of supported regions to 14. This expansion allows developers to deploy isolated compute environments closer to end-users, addressing latency and data residency requirements. Lambda MicroVMs provides VM-level isolation with near-instant launch and resume speeds, enabling secure and responsive execution of user or AI-generated code.
The service offers state preservation for executing code, allowing developers to maintain application state without managing virtualization infrastructure. It supports use cases such as AI coding assistants, interactive development environments, and vulnerability scanners by providing dedicated compute environments for each user or job. Developers can create MicroVM images from Dockerfiles and launch MicroVMs from those images, simplifying the deployment process.
Each MicroVM is assigned a dedicated HTTPS URL supporting protocols like HTTP/2, gRPC, and WebSockets, facilitating secure and flexible connectivity. The service can be accessed through the AWS Lambda console, AWS CloudFormation, AWS Cloud Development Kit, or via the Agent Toolkit for AWS with preferred Agentic development tools. This integration streamlines workflows for developers working with isolated compute environments.
To begin using Lambda MicroVMs, developers can consult the AWS Lambda MicroVMs developer guide for detailed instructions. Pricing information is available on the Lambda MicroVMs pricing page, and the latest region availability can be checked on the AWS Capabilities by Region page. These resources provide the necessary guidance for implementation and cost planning.
