AWS Lambda doesn't automatically pick up the latest image? – Amazon Web Sevices

I have a Lambda deployed on AWS. My Lambda is deployed uses a container to run my code. Whenever after we deploy a new image, we have to manually copy paste the URL in Lambda’s configuration. Even if in ECR latest image has the URI which is already configured in Lambda, Lambda used the image from when configuration was last manually done. I was wondering if there is a way to automatically have lambda use the latest image that is deployed in ECR ?

Things I have tried:

  1. Keeping the tags and image name same during deployment, so the URI of image stays the same. I then use that URI to configure my Lambda.
  2. Used "latest" as a tag for my image.

Note: Image is being pushed to ECR by Bitbucket.

    Answer Stephan gave, guided me to achieve the same using Bitbucket Pipelines (My problem needed to be solved on Bitbucket). Here is a code sample:

    - pipe: atlassian/aws-lambda-deploy:1.7.0
  variables:
      AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: 'YOPUR_LAMBDA_REGION'
      AWS_OIDC_ROLE_ARN: "ARN_FOR_YOUR_IAM_ROLE"
      FUNCTION_NAME: 'YOUR_FUNCTION'
      COMMAND: 'update'
      IMAGE_URI: 'YOUR_IMAGE_URI'

    For this to work, your Lambda has to be setup already since this code just updates your Lambda.

    Have few solutions for this strange case.

    • Remove docker image <– This is trick, then get new docker image by docker pull.

    • Use SHA256 for compare hash string of docker image. If hash strings are different, these are different docker image versions/tags.

    • You can leverage sha256 hash string, for example

    docker pull ubuntu@sha256:26c68657ccce2cb0a31b330cb0be2b5e108d467f641c62e13ab40cbec258c68d

    This is expected as the Lambda isn’t aware a new image was pushed.

    For a function defined as a container image, Lambda resolves the image
    tag to an image digest. In Amazon ECR, if you update the image tag to
    a new image, Lambda does not automatically update the function.

    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/lambda/update-function-code.html#update-function-code

    After pushing the image:

    docker tag my-image:latest 123456789.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/my-image:latest
docker push 123456789.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/my-image:latest

    Also update your Lambda with the new image:

    aws lambda update-function-code 
           --function-name my-lambda 
           --image-uri 123456789.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/my-image:latest
