Description

As far as I understand, the underlying lambda AMI can change over time. For instance, I expect that there will be libraries and kernel updates, but also distribution updates automatically done by AWS. As opposed with beanstalk, in which one can lock an application to a given Amazon Linux version, that doesn't seem to be the case in Lambda.

Doesn't this mean that precompiled packages can all of the sudden break? Is there a reason for this not to happen that I am not aware of? What is your view on this topic?

Thanks

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the project's package-building documentation and AWS Lambda compatibility assumptions. Done would require a maintainer-confirmed explanation of whether AMI changes can break precompiled packages, plus documentation if that behavior needs recording.
