amazon web services - CPU Spec for AWS Lambda?

Question

I hope to evaluate AWS Lambda's suitability for long running computing intensive batch jobs, vs EC2 instances. To do that, I need to find out a 24h cost of Lambda vs EC2 for similar computing power. (In the 24h I'll run many small jobs, each a few seconds)

From Configuring Lambda function memory I can see "At 1,769 MB, a function has the equivalent of one vCPU (one vCPU-second of credits per second)". But there is no description of how powerful this CPU will be.

For EC2 nodes, I can find out the CPU specs of T2 or C5 so I know what to expect, but not the case for Lambda. Anyone has an idea? Thanks.

Answer 1

Lambda can run for 15Min only. AWS doesn't expose lambda compute details. We cannot get the compute details on which lambda is running.

If you have 24 hour task , better to go with EC2 Instances. If you still want to use lambda which are you may explore stepFunctions. https://aws.amazon.com/step-functions/
