AWS Lambda presents a base image ready to be provisioned as multiple instances.
If you are familiar with Docker you can think about Lambda image as a small Docker image, while real work will be done in instances (Docker containers) created from this image.
Usual scenario is to provide ready to go image (with all source code, npm packages being installed, with Chrome Headless plugin, etc). Then AWS/Azure will run VM instances based on the image for almost every function request. Most of the time spinning such lite VMs takes no more than a couple of seconds.
