Hello,

I have a basic Ray code that consumes resources.

My aim is to deploy Python code on AWS with dockerized. When I try to use the docker image on AWS Lambda Function, It not working.

Python code which simple consume resource:  
import math  
import time  
import ray

#ray.init(“anyscale://ray-demo-cluster”, runtime\_env={“pip”: “requirements.txt”})  
#ray.init(“anyscale://anyscale-demo/kd-cluster-v1”)

@ray.remote  
def factorial\_func(n):  
return math.factorial(n)

def lambda\_handler(event, context):  
start = time.time()  
results = [factorial\_func.remote(i\*40) for i in range(2000)]  
ray.get(results)  
finish = time.time()  
print(f’Total duration:',finish-start)

lambda\_handler(None, None)

Issue:

Why is this happening?

Many thanks for your time.

I’m not sure if the issue is related to Ray. Ray doesn’t use `sudo` permission.

Possibly the issue is related to Anyscale. Because I am using Anyscale base image when I am building a docker image.

Dockerfile:

```auto
# Use Anyscale base image
FROM anyscale/ray:2.0.0-py37

ADD demo.py .

RUN echo "Testing Ray Import..." && python -c "import ray"

CMD ["main.lambda_handler"]

```

Is it possible?

yea it’s possible. Are you using anyscale? If not, you should use the open source ray image from `https://hub.docker.com/r/rayproject/ray`
