Modifying the runtime environment - AWS Lambda

Modifying the runtime environment

You can use internal extensions to modify the runtime process. Internal extensions are not separate processes—they run as part of the runtime process.

Lambda provides language-specific environment variables that you can set to add options and tools to the runtime. Lambda also provides wrapper scripts, which allow Lambda to delegate the runtime startup to your script. You can create a wrapper script to customize the runtime startup behavior.

Language-specific environment variables

Lambda supports configuration-only ways to enable code to be pre-loaded during function initialization through the following language-specific environment variables:

Using language-specific environment variables is the preferred way to set startup properties.

Wrapper scripts

You can create a wrapper script to customize the runtime startup behavior of your Lambda function. A wrapper script enables you to set configuration parameters that cannot be set through language-specific environment variables.

Note

Invocations may fail if the wrapper script does not successfully start the runtime process.

Wrapper scripts are supported on all native Lambda runtimes. Wrapper scripts are not supported on OS-only runtimes (the provided runtime family).

When you use a wrapper script for your function, Lambda starts the runtime using your script. Lambda sends to your script the path to the interpreter and all of the original arguments for the standard runtime startup. Your script can extend or transform the startup behavior of the program. For example, the script can inject and alter arguments, set environment variables, or capture metrics, errors, and other diagnostic information.

You specify the script by setting the value of the AWS_LAMBDA_EXEC_WRAPPER environment variable as the file system path of an executable binary or script.

Example: Create and use a wrapper script as a Lambda layer

In the following example, you create a wrapper script to start the Python interpreter with the -X importtime option. When you run the function, Lambda generates a log entry to show the duration of the import time for each import.

To create and use a wrapper script as a layer
  1. Create a directory for the layer:

    mkdir -p python-wrapper-layer/bin
    cd python-wrapper-layer/bin
  2. In the bin directory, paste the following code into a new file named importtime_wrapper. This is the wrapper script.

    #!/bin/bash
    
    # the path to the interpreter and all of the originally intended arguments
    args=("$@")
    
    # the extra options to pass to the interpreter
    extra_args=("-X" "importtime")
    
    # insert the extra options
    args=("${args[@]:0:$#-1}" "${extra_args[@]}" "${args[@]: -1}")
    
    # start the runtime with the extra options
    exec "${args[@]}"
  3. Give the script executable permissions:

    chmod +x importtime_wrapper
  4. Create a .zip file for the layer:

    cd ..
    zip -r ../python-wrapper-layer.zip .
  5. Confirm that your .zip file has the following directory structure:

    python-wrapper-layer.zip
    └ bin
        └ importtime_wrapper
  6. Create a layer using the .zip package.

  7. Create a function using the Lambda console.

    1. Open the Lambda console.

    2. Choose Create function.

    3. Enter a Function name.

    4. For Runtime, choose the Latest supported Python runtime.

    5. Choose Create function.

  8. Add the layer to your function.

    1. Choose your function, and then choose the Code tab if it's not already selected.

    2. Scroll down to the Layers section, and then choose Add a layer.

    3. For Layer source, select Custom layers, and then choose your layer from the Custom layers dropdown list.

    4. For Version, choose 1.

    5. Choose Add.

  9. Add the wrapper environment variable.

    1. Choose the Configuration tab, then choose Environment variables.

    2. Under Environment variables, choose Edit.

    3. Choose Add environment variable.

    4. For Key, enter AWS_LAMBDA_EXEC_WRAPPER.

    5. For Value, enter /opt/bin/importtime_wrapper (/opt/ + your .zip layer's folder structure).

    6. Choose Save.

  10. Test the wrapper script.

    1. Choose the Test tab.

    2. Under Test event, choose Test. You don't need to create a test event—the default event will work.

    3. Scroll down to Log output. Because your wrapper script started the Python interpreter with the -X importtime option, the logs show the time required for each import. For example:

      532 |           collections
      import time:        63 |         63 |           _functools
      import time:      1053 |       3646 |         functools
      import time:      2163 |       7499 |       enum
      import time:       100 |        100 |         _sre
      import time:       446 |        446 |           re._constants
      import time:       691 |       1136 |         re._parser
      import time:       378 |        378 |         re._casefix
      import time:       670 |       2283 |       re._compiler
      import time:       416 |        416 |       copyreg
