AWS Lambda adds support for .NET 6
AWS Lambda now supports .NET 6 as both a managed runtime and a container base image. Developers creating serverless applications in Lambda with .NET 6 can take advantage of new features such as improved logging, simplified function definitions using top-level statements, and improved performance using source generators. Using .NET 6 also lets you take advantage of new .NET language features and performance optimizations. For more information on Lambda’s support for .NET 6, see our blog post at .NET 6 runtime now available in AWS Lambda.

To build and deploy Lambda functions using .NET 6, use the .NET Core CLI, AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio, or AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM). Additionally, you can also use the AWS-provided .NET 6 base image to build and deploy .NET 6 functions using a container image. To migrate existing Lambda functions running earlier .NET versions, see the blog post linked above.
.NET 6 is the latest long-term support (LTS) release of .NET and will be supported for security and bug fixes until November 2024. AWS will automatically apply updates to the .NET 6 managed runtime and to the AWS-provided .NET 6 base image, as they become available.
The .NET 6 runtime is available in all Regions where Lambda is available, except for the AWS China Regions. Visit our product page for more information about AWS Lambda or sign in to the AWS Lambda console to get started.
