Deploy to Lambda@Edge with custom docker image (Ubuntu 22.04 and NodeJS 14)

Question

I have a Lambda function that is using a docker image that's running Ubuntu 22.04 and NodeJS 14.
The function works fine, but when I try to deploy it to @edge, it gives me this error: 
"Correct the errors above and try again. Runtime must be one of: Node.js 12.x, Node.js 14.x, Node.js 16.x, Node.js 18.x, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9."

Does Lambda@edge allows custom docker image or is it only working for lambda function that are using the AWS runtime?

Accepted Answer

Please refer to [Restrictions on edge functions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/edge-functions-restrictions.html#lambda-at-edge-function-restrictions).

The following Lambda features are **not supported** by Lambda@Edge:

- Lambda functions with AWS Lambda layers.
- Lambda functions defined as container images.

So at the time of writing, you can only deploy a Lambda@Edge functions based on an AWS runtime and using one of the mentioned runtime versions.
