AWS expanded Lambda MicroVMs, a serverless compute primitive offering VM-level isolation, rapid launch and resume times, and state preservation, to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, and Spain Regions. This brings total availability to 14 Regions. Lambda MicroVMs allow developers to assign isolated compute environments per user or job with no infrastructure management, suitable for use cases including AI coding assistants and vulnerability scanning.
Developers create MicroVM images from Dockerfiles and deploy environments accessible via HTTPS URLs supporting HTTP/2, gRPC, and WebSockets. This expansion addresses latency and data residency needs by placing compute closer to end users. Usage integrates with AWS Lambda console, CloudFormation, Cloud Development Kit, and Agent Toolkit for AWS.
