Get ready for Lambda running environment updates

Open mooyoul opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

AWS announced about changing running environment of Lambda.

There are two breaking changes:

  • New nodejs10.x runtime uses Amazon Linux 2
  • Any other runtimes except nodejs10.x will be updated to use Amazon Linux 2018.03 release (from Amazon Linux 2017.03 release)

Please refer below links also:

  • https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-runtimes.html
  • https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/upcoming-updates-to-the-aws-lambda-execution-environment/

According to @mhart's tweet, Amazon Linux 2018.03 based lambda runtime removed some deps including Perl and Dash. Here is a list of removed dependencies.

So we need to test serverless-chrome with updated runtime, and discuss about supporting amazonlinux2 based lambda runtime.

@mooyoul Good list, thanks for that. Besides the removed binaries/libs, I also couldn't locate any fonts.

If somebody can provide infrastructure to build binaries again (https://github.com/adieuadieu/serverless-chrome/issues/195) then changing runtime will not be a big issue, I guess.

@olecom What do you mean by infrastructure? I can provide access to a high-end server for a few hours if needed, I also maintain an Ansible playbook for specifically this if that helps. I tried to compile Chromium for Node 10 runtime and failed, so if you want to have a shot at this let me know how I can help.

@alixaxel,

@olecom What do you mean by infrastructure?

After digging into build errors: https://circleci.com/gh/adieuadieu/serverless-chrome/3676

it is evident that there are no new docker images to build new versions of serverless chrome binary: https://hub.docker.com/r/adieuadieu/headless-chromium-for-aws-lambda/tags

To provide such images there should be some local or EC2 machines: https://github.com/adieuadieu/serverless-chrome/blob/master/docs/chrome.md

This is why I thought that there is no more infrastructure for build process...

Is this still an issue?
