Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Amazon Lambda in Amazon Web Services China

Amazon Lambda is a compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. Amazon Lambda executes your code only when needed and scales automatically, from a few requests per day to thousands per second. You pay only for the compute time you consume—there is no charge when your code is not running. With Amazon Lambda, you can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service—all with zero administration. Amazon Lambda runs your code on a high-availability compute infrastructure and performs all of the administration of the compute resources, including server and operating system maintenance, capacity provisioning and automatic scaling, code monitoring and logging. All you need to do is supply your code in one of the languages that Amazon Lambda supports (currently Node.js, Java, C#, Go and Python).

Region availability

Amazon Lambda is available in the following regions in China:

  • China (Beijing) Region

  • China (Ningxia) Region

How Amazon Lambda differs

The following differences apply to Amazon Lambda:

  • Amazon X-Ray integration with Lambda functions is not available in the China Regions.

  • Amazon Lambda Function URLs is not available in the China Regions.

  • The asynchronous invocation metrics, AsyncEventsReceived, AsyncEventAge, and AsyncEventsDropped are not available in the China Regions.

  • Multi-VPC connectivity for Amazon MSK event source mappings is not available in the China Regions.

  • The Future runtime launch dates are not applicable in the China Regions.

  • Lambda recursive loop detection is not available in the China Regions.

  • The Amazon CloudWatch Logs Live Tail integration in the Lambda console is not available in the China Regions.

  • Amazon KMS customer managed key encryption for .zip deployment packages is not available in the China Regions.

  • Lambda SnapStart for Python and .NET is not available in the China Regions.

  • CloudWatch Application Signals for Lambda functions is not available in the China Regions.

  • Event source mapping metrics are not available in the China Regions.

  • Event source mapping tags are not available in the China Regions.

  • Event source mapping event filtering and filter criteria encryption are not available in the China Regions.

  • Provisioned mode for event source mappings is not available in the China Regions.

  • Amazon S3 as a destination for Kinesis, DynamoDB, and async invoke is not available in the China Regions.

  • Monitoring Lambda function logs with Amazon S3 or Firehose is not yet available in the China Regions.

  • Schema registry support for Kafka event sources is not available in the China Regions.

  • The deprecation schedule for the .NET 6 runtime in the China Regions is different from the schedule provided in the Lambda Developer Guide.

    Lambda will deprecate the .NET 6 runtime on July 31, 2025. We recommend that you migrate .NET 6 functions to .NET 8, which is now available in the China Regions. Until the deprecation date, Lambda will continue to apply patches to the .NET 6 operating system (OS), but not to the .NET 6 language runtime.
