Lambda MicroVMs
Control-plane emulation of the AWS Lambda MicroVM API (2025-09-09): run, get, list, suspend, resume, and terminate MicroVMs, create images, and mint auth / shell auth tokens. State is account- and region-scoped.
Quick start
# See /docs/services/ for SDK patterns; Lambda MicroVMs uses the standard boto3 client.

CloudFormation
No CloudFormation resource types map to this service yet. Resources can still be created via the SDK or CLI.
Known limitations
- No real microVM is provisioned — RunMicrovm returns a RUNNING MicroVM immediately and CreateMicrovmImage a CREATED image.
- Auth tokens (CreateMicrovmAuthToken / CreateMicrovmShellAuthToken) are opaque stubs, not usable against a real runtime.
