Auto-instrumentation Agent only in Lambda

[Talgat777]

We have a collector running as a separate app collecting x-ray data from ECS instances. We are now planning to run some Java apps (docker images) on Lambdas as helpers to our main apps. How do we enable Auto-instrumentation Agent in our lambdas (sending data to our collector) and how to do it with docker images?

I see in the doc that it can be achieved through the layer but it's not supported with docker image? And also it looks like it comes with a bundle with the collector and we only need an agent.

We currently do not support running the lambda layers as container images. We will keep this issue open to track interest.

So there's no way to include the otel collector lambda layer in lambda functions that are packaged as docker images? This article https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/working-with-lambda-layers-and-extensions-in-container-images/ makes it seem like we just copy the contents of the otel lambda layer into a /opts directory in the docker file for the function?

Is there any update on the above?
