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.

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?
