When we need to create a layer in AWS, for lambda functions, and this layer has some SO dependencies for its operations, so we are in a problem, the aws documentation for this, can be insufficient.
So, in this case, we can build the missing binaries in the layer that are required.
Well, for this example, we are going to make the demo using Python 3.x and the Pdf2Image library
Prerequisites
- Docker instalado
- Python 3.x
- AWS CLI configurado (optional)
- Acceso a AWS Lambda
1. preparing the environment
mkdir lambda-layer
cd lambda-layer
mkdir python
cd python
2. Installing the python dependencies
pip3 install [your_dependencies] \
--platform manylinux2014_x86_64 \
--target . \
--only-binary=:all: \
--implementation cp \
--python-version [TU_VERSION_PYTHON] \
--no-deps
Example with pdf2image:
pip3 install pdf2image Pillow \
--platform manylinux2014_x86_64 \
--target . \
--only-binary=:all: \
--implementation cp \
--python-version 3.10 \
--no-deps
3. Dockerfile Base
FROM ubuntu:22.04 as builder
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
python3.10 \
python3-pip \
binutils \
zip \
[TUS_PAQUETES_ADICIONALES] \
--no-install-recommends \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
WORKDIR /lambda
RUN mkdir -p /opt/python/lib/python3.10/site-packages/bin
COPY python/ /opt/python/lib/python3.10/site-packages/
RUN cp [TUS_BINARIOS] /opt/python/lib/python3.10/site-packages/bin/ && \
chmod 755 /opt/python/lib/python3.10/site-packages/bin/*
RUN cd /opt && zip -r9 /lambda/layer.zip python/
FROM alpine:3.18
COPY --from=builder /lambda/layer.zip /
CMD ["/bin/sh"]
4. Build and extract
# image build
docker build -t lambda-layer .
# extract layer.zip
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/out lambda-layer cp /layer.zip /out/
5. using the layer
After the previous steps, we can upload our layer as always and import it into our projects
import os
import sys
#Configuring paths
SITE_PACKAGES = '/opt/python/lib/python3.10/site-packages'
BIN_DIR = os.path.join(SITE_PACKAGES, 'bin')
os.environ['PATH'] = f"{BIN_DIR}:{os.environ['PATH']}"
sys.path.append(SITE_PACKAGES)
#importing dependencies
from pdf2image import [your_import]
def lambda_handler(event, context):
try:
# your code here
return {
'statusCode': 200,
'body': 'Success'
}
except Exception as e:
return {
'statusCode': 500,
'body': f'Error: {str(e)}'
}
