Lambda unsupported runtime.

10/09/2023

AWS Lambda allows you to run serverless code using a variety of programming languages and runtimes. However, AWS occasionally deprecates older runtimes, meaning that if your Lambda function is using one of these, it can stop functioning or fail to deploy. A Lambda unsupported runtime error occurs when you attempt to run or update a function using a runtime that is no longer supported by AWS. At Informatix Systems, we help businesses quickly resolve these issues, migrate to supported runtimes, and ensure continuous service availability.

What Is a Lambda Unsupported Runtime

A Lambda unsupported runtime error happens when a function references a runtime version that AWS has deprecated. This may happen during deployment, code updates, or when AWS retires older runtime environments. Once unsupported, these runtimes will no longer receive security updates or support, and functions depending on them may stop working entirely.

Common Causes of Lambda Unsupported Runtime Issues

  1. Use of Deprecated Runtimes
    AWS regularly retires older versions of runtimes such as Node.js, Python, Java, and Ruby.

  2. Lack of Runtime Updates
    Lambda functions created years ago might still use outdated runtimes that are now unsupported.

  3. Manual Configuration Errors
    Incorrectly specifying the runtime in the function configuration can lead to deployment or execution failures.

  4. Automated Deployment Scripts
    CI/CD pipelines that reference old runtime versions can unintentionally deploy functions with unsupported configurations.

  5. Dependency Incompatibilities
    Migrating to a new runtime without updating libraries and dependencies can cause runtime errors or failures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does unsupported runtime mean in AWS Lambda
It means the runtime version specified is no longer supported by AWS and cannot be used for function execution or deployment.

How do I fix an unsupported runtime error in Lambda
You need to update the runtime to a supported version. This may also involve updating your code and dependencies.

Will AWS automatically upgrade my Lambda runtime?
No, runtime upgrades must be manually performed. Informatix Systems can handle this process safely and efficiently.

Is there a risk in using deprecated runtimes
Yes, deprecated runtimes no longer receive security updates and may eventually be removed, causing application failures.

Can Informatix Systems help upgrade all functions at once
Yes, we offer a comprehensive audit and bulk migration service to upgrade all affected Lambda functions in your account.
