Builds, runs, debugs, and operates applications on AWS Lambda MicroVMs — Firecracker-isolated, snapshot-resumable serverless compute environments running inside a container with up to 8 hr lifetimes. Applicable when workloads need strong isolation between tenants, isolated serverless compute, sandbox compute, or secure multi-tenant execution. Also suited for AI/agent code-execution sandboxes, interactive code playgrounds and notebooks (Jupyter, REPLs, dev environments running user-supplied code), reinforcement-learning environments, multi-tenant CI executors and build runners, sessionful game or simulation servers, or isolated security scanners. Also applicable when the workload needs long-lived sessions, a real port-listening server (gRPC, WebSocket, custom TCP protocols), state preserved across periods of inactivity (suspend/resume), container-level access (FUSE, eBPF, custom syscalls), or session-affine routing.

# AWS Lambda MicroVMs
> The AWS MCP server is recommended for sandboxed execution and audit logging.
AWS Lambda MicroVMs are serverless compute environments that combine Firecracker VM isolation with container-like efficiency. Each MicroVM:
- Runs your application as a **container inside a Firecracker microVM** — you can reproduce the environment locally.
- Runs Amazon Linux 2023 as the base OS inside the MicroVM.
- Boots from a **memory + disk snapshot** captured at image build time, so application init is skipped on run.
- Has a dedicated, TLS-terminated HTTPS endpoint reachable with an auth token.
- Can be **suspended and resumed** with state preserved; lives up to 8 hours.
**Two-resource model:**
