Julia deploys lambda function not in configured aws-region (aws-config). Julia deploys only in virginia.

Hello, could you help me trying to get this to work on a lambda layer? They have a different folder structure, for example you can't just put the libraries in the root folder, aws expects them to be in /lib.

So, where would I put texlive.profile and texlive? And do I need to change the .profile?

Thanks

I am following the instructions in a EC2 server using Julia 0.6.3. AWSLambda module is not working on the server.

The following error happens at the test function in the module.

ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: no method matching lambda_configuration(::String)

In https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/upcoming-updates-to-the-aws-lambda-execution-environment/ AWS announced an upgrade to the Lambda execution environment from Amazon Linux version 2017.03 to version 2018.03.

lambdalatex does not work in the newer environment 2018.03. The latexmk command in lambdalatex needs perl. However, /usr/bin/perl which was present in 2017.03 Lambda images is removed from 2018.03 images.

To use lambdalatex we need to come up with a way to make perl available in the Lambda function. I tried the layer mentioned in https://github.com/moznion/aws-lambda-perl5-layer
However, I got signal 11 while running latexmk. It is possible that that layer is built against 2017.03. I tried to build my own layer but got exit code 127 while invoking latexmk --version. I am not an expert in perl. Nor am I an expert in the texlive distribution. I am unable to make further progress.

Do you have any thoughts on how to make lambdalatex work on Amazon Linux 2018.03 OS version?
