# AWS Lambda Managed Instances (LMI)

Decide whether your Lambda workload belongs on dedicated instances

## What this does

AWS Lambda can run your functions on instances in your own account while AWS still handles the upkeep. This helps you judge whether that fits what you are running, set it up, and move existing functions over, including working out how the cost compares with plain Lambda. Reach for it when standard Lambda is not quite the right shape.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Work out whether managed instances suit your workload
- Move a standard Lambda function across
- Compare what each option would cost you

## About AWS Lambda Managed Instances (LMI)

This evaluates, configures and migrates workloads to AWS Lambda Managed Instances. The model runs Lambda functions on EC2 instances in your own account, while AWS manages provisioning, patching, scaling, routing and load balancing.

It comes up around capacity providers, multi-concurrent execution environments, EC2-backed and persistent Lambda instances, PerExecutionEnvironmentMaxConcurrency and CapacityProviderConfig, eliminating cold starts through dedicated instances, migrating standard Lambda across, and comparing the cost of standard Lambda against managed instances with Savings Plans or Reserved Instances.
