Amazon Web Services – HPC Lens AWS Well-Architected Framework Page 15 require time on the order of minutes to increase capacity in response to a request (even when using virtual machines such as EC2 instances), serverless Lambda functions scale in seconds. In other words, AWS Lambda enables HPC infrastructure that can respond immediately to an unforeseen request for compute-intensive results and can fulfill a variable number of requests without requiring any resources to be provisioned wastefully in advance. Reference Architecture Figure 4: Example Lambda-deployed HTC workload Workflow steps: 1. The user uploads a file to an S3 bucket through the AWS CLI. 2. The input file is saved with an incoming prefix (for example, input/). 3. A Lambda function is automatically triggered by the S3 event to process the incoming data. 4. The output file is saved back to the S3 bucket with an outgoing prefix (for example, output.)
