This covers a serverless environment where each workload is strongly isolated, can hold a long session, can pause and resume, and can listen on a real port. Reach for it for code playgrounds, agent sandboxes, build runners and similar. ### Top 3 things it does for you - Run someone else's code somewhere it cannot reach out - Keep a session alive across long gaps of inactivity - Run a real listening server in serverless compute ## Information **AWS Lambda MicroVMs at a glance** | | | | --- | --- | | Kind | Skill | | Publisher | [Amazon Web Services](/@aws) | | Category | [IT & Ops](/category/ops) | | Works with | Agent Skills - an open standard supported by 40+ agents | | Version | 1 | | Size | 61 KB | | Licence | Apache-2.0 | | Repository | [aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws](https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/tree/74e317a6ee4221204c917770e3aaec9558a81778/skills/specialized-skills/serverless-skills/aws-lambda-microvms) | | GitHub stars | 2,420 (as of Nov 2026) | | Installs | 6,165, counted by skills.sh (Nov 2026) | ## Security report **Verified.** AIR scanned this exact version of AWS Lambda MicroVMs and flagged nothing.

A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

It applies where a workload needs strong isolation between tenants, isolated or sandbox compute, or secure multi-tenant execution. Typical cases include AI and agent code-execution sandboxes, interactive code playgrounds and notebooks such as Jupyter, REPLs and dev environments running user-supplied code, reinforcement-learning environments, multi-tenant CI executors and build runners, sessionful game or simulation servers, and isolated security scanners. It also fits the requirements that rule other options out: long-lived sessions, a real port-listening server for gRPC, WebSocket or custom TCP protocols, state preserved across periods of inactivity through suspend and resume, container-level access such as FUSE, eBPF or custom syscalls, and session-affine routing. ## What's inside - SKILL.md - instructions - references/getting-started.md - reference - references/iam-and-security.md - reference - references/lifecycle-model.md - reference - references/networking.md - reference - references/snapshots-and-uniqueness.md - reference - references/troubleshooting.md - reference ## Questions ### Is AWS Lambda MicroVMs safe to install? AIR scanned this exact version of AWS Lambda MicroVMs and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 74e317a6ee42, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/aws-lambda-microvms. ### How do I install AWS Lambda MicroVMs? Open https://airmarket.ai/app/aws-lambda-microvms on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/tree/74e317a6ee4221204c917770e3aaec9558a81778/skills/specialized-skills/serverless-skills/aws-lambda-microvms.
