AWS Lambda Managed Instances added support for Graviton5-powered instance families (C9g, C9gd, M9g, M9gd), offering up to 25% better performance than the prior Graviton4-based instances. This update allows customers to leverage enhanced processing power while retaining Lambda's serverless operational model.
Users select Graviton5 instance types during capacity provider setup or rely on Lambda's automatic instance selection based on function architecture and configuration. The expansion improves cost efficiency and compute performance in supported AWS regions where Lambda Managed Instances and the new EC2 types coexist.
