AWS announced that its Lambda service now incorporates MicroVM technology. The new feature enables each Lambda invocation to run inside an isolated sandbox. MicroVMs provide full lifecycle control, from creation through termination. This isolation aims to improve security and performance for serverless workloads. Developers can leverage the MicroVM model without changing existing function code. AWS outlines how the sandbox environment reduces cross‑function interference. The update is part of AWS's broader effort to enhance the robustness of its compute offerings. Users are encouraged to test the MicroVM option to assess benefits for their applications.
