Documentation missing for PowerShell Containers on AWS Lambda

I was going through the documentation for AWS Lambda and noticed that there isn’t any documentation for PowerShell Containers on Lambda. According to the Lambda Containers announcement, all Lambda runtimes are supported with containers. Is that true for PowerShell?

I also tried to run pwsh from the “dotnet” container image on the AWS public ECR gallery. It doesn’t appear to be installed in the dotnet image, so how would I package up a PowerShell container for Lambda?

PS > docker run --rm -it --entrypoint sh public.ecr.aws/lambda/dotnet
sh-4.2# ls
sh-4.2# dotnet

Usage: dotnet [options]
Usage: dotnet [path-to-application]

Options:
  -h|--help         Display help.
  --info            Display .NET information.
  --list-sdks       Display the installed SDKs.
  --list-runtimes   Display the installed runtimes.

path-to-application:
  The path to an application .dll file to execute.
sh-4.2# pwsh
sh: pwsh: command not found

Notice how the documentation for Lambda Containers skips over PowerShell, but exists for other languages, in the following screenshot.

We haven’t built a PowerShell base image yet for Lambda. I like the idea and hope we can we prioritize it. So anybody else that wants this feature please +1 this issue.

Out of curiosity for PowerShell users, is requiring Docker for a PowerShell Lambda experience a significant hurdle to using PowerShell on Lambda?

No, it’s not a significant hurdle. Publishing PowerShell Lambda functions is fairly straightforward with the AWSLambdaPSCore.

That being said, I would love to NOT have to worry about installing this module separately, and simply build a standard Dockerfile, just like every other programming language.
