Practical Dive: Running Cost Optimized OCI Container Workloads on Lambda

### Event Overview

Serverless computing has transformed how we deploy applications, yet many teams still overspend on dedicated servers or complex container orchestration platforms.
In this practical, hands-on session, you will learn how to package application workloads into Open Container Initiative (OCI) compliant containers and deploy them directly onto AWS Lambda. By marrying the deployment flexibility of Docker and OCI standards with the pay-per-use efficiency of serverless execution, you can dramatically simplify your infrastructure while slashing operational costs.
