Expected Behavior

{
    "stage": {
        ...
        "ephemeral_storage": 10240  # MBs
    }
}

would set my function to 10GB storage on /tmp

Hi @elip-OE and @mdw123,
Does this setting work?

[mdw123]

The PR is still open, so I expect no. I resorted to this in my CI pipeline:

zappa update ...
sleep 30
aws lambda update-function-configuration --region ${region} --function-name ${function_name} --ephemeral-storage '{"Size": 1536}'

I don't know that this requires a full 30 seconds, but zappa update immediately followed by the configuration update returned an error that the lambda was still updating.

Thanks @mdw123 for your suggestion
However, I started using Docker for the same and it's better than using ephemeral storage.
If you want any help feel free to ping me

@souravjamwal77 docker image may not be an option. I've tested PR #1125 and it works fine.

[souravjamwal77]

Thanks @elip-OE
I will test that out and will ping @jneves for merging.

@souravjamwal77 can you share you docker based solution?

[souravjamwal77]

Yeah sure below is my Dockerfile code
let me know if you need anything else

FROM amazon/aws-lambda-python:3.8




ARG FUNCTION_DIR="/var/task/"

COPY ./ ${FUNCTION_DIR}

RUN pip install wheel
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# Grab the zappa handler.py and put it in the working directory
RUN ZAPPA_HANDLER_PATH=$( \
    python -c "from zappa import handler; print (handler.__file__)" \
    ) \
    && echo $ZAPPA_HANDLER_PATH \
    && cp $ZAPPA_HANDLER_PATH ${FUNCTION_DIR}


CMD [ "handler.lambda_handler" ]

@elip-OE ping me if you need any further help

If you need help with deployment script (and that's not perfect, but works) let me know

@souravjamwal77 thanks for your help. I have very similar Dockerfile, but I don't have a write permission to any directory. have you done anything to allow more storage?
