Everyone complains about the 15 minutes problem on lambda, but am I the only that have a problem with the 250MB deployment size limit?

You can use Lambda to run Docker containers of sizes up to 10GB

What are you publishing that has a binary that big but can't use a container image?

[cbsmith]

Sure you can get around that with proper use of Layers.

[rlayton2]

Total layer size is also restricted.

[cbsmith]

Restricted to 10GB. I'm sorry, but if you need more than that, you probably shouldn't be using Lambdas the way you are using Lambdas.

[ManWith2Plans]

This isn't true. 10GB is the limit on docker backed lambda function sizes. Layers are capped to 256MB just like lambda functions.

A couple of weeks ago, I tried to deploy a lambda function that created Azure Subnets in python, and the Azure client was 265GB alone. My layer creation api call failed because of this.

[cbsmith]

You're right. I forgot it was docker backed lambda rather than layers.

Out of curiosity, why didn't you use an Azure docker image to back your lambda function?
