aws-lambda-microvms
Build, run, debug, and operate applications on AWS Lambda MicroVMs — Firecracker-isolated, snapshot-resumable serverless compute environments that run inside a container with up to 8-hour lifetimes. Triggers on: Lambda MicroVMs, Firecracker isolation, snapshot-resumable compute, suspend/resume, sandboxed or untrusted code execution, AI/agent code-execution sandboxes, interactive code playgrounds and notebooks (Jupyter, REPLs), reinforcement-learning environments, multi-tenant CI executors and build runners, sessionful game or simulation servers, isolated security scanners, long-lived sessions, or port-listening servers (gRPC, WebSocket, custom TCP). For standard event-driven Lambda functions, use the aws-lambda skill instead.

# 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:**
