I'm testing my code on Lambda and I've never received this error before and couldn't find any solutions online. I created a docker image for my code, so here's my Docker file that I pushed to ECR

FROM python:3.8

# Copy function code
COPY app.py ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}

#Copy and install requirements
COPY requirements.txt ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

ARG GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN
ARG TABLE_NAME
ARG AWS_ACCESS_KEY
ARG AWS_SECRET_KEY
ARG REGION

ENV GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN $GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN
ENV TABLE_NAME $TABLE_NAME
ENV AWS_ACCESS_KEY $AWS_ACCESS_KEY
ENV AWS_SECRET_KEY $AWS_SECRET_KEY
ENV REGION $REGION

# Set the CMD to the handler 
CMD [ "app.handler" ]

Also here's the full error that showed up in my logs on lambda

CodePudding user response:

Lambda images are not made from python:3.8 Docker image. Instead they should be made from public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.8. The lambda container images must be specially constructed to work correctly with lambda.

AWS docs explain this in details:
