Aws Lambda Microvms

This gives Claude the ability to build and operate Firecracker-based microVMs on AWS Lambda with up to 8-hour lifetimes and suspend/resume capabilities. You package an app as a Dockerfile, Lambda snapshots it at boot, then you can run isolated instances with their own HTTPS endpoints. It's built for workloads that need stronger isolation than Lambda functions (multi-tenant code execution, AI agent sandboxes, interactive notebooks) or need features functions can't provide (long sessions, stateful suspend/resume, listening on arbitrary ports, container-level access to FUSE or eBPF). The two-phase model with image builds and runtime instances takes some setup, but you get proper VM isolation with container-like packaging. If your workload fits in 15 minutes and doesn't need session state, regular Lambda functions are simpler.
