A developer needs to deploy the code for a new application on an AWS Lambda function. The application needs a dependency file that is 500 MB to run the business logic. Which solution will meet these r

Directly uploading a .zip file as a Lambda deployment package is limited to 50 MB zipped and 250 MB unzipped; a 500 MB dependency would exceed the unzipped limit.

Uploading the .zip to S3 and referencing it from Lambda still enforces the 250 MB unzipped size limit, so a 500 MB dependency cannot be deployed this way.

Packaging into a container image is correct, but uploading to Amazon S3 is not the right destination; container images for Lambda must be pushed to Amazon ECR, not S3.

AWS Lambda supports container images up to 10 GB stored in Amazon ECR, which comfortably accommodates a 500 MB dependency. Packaging the application and its dependencies into a container image and pushing it to ECR allows Lambda to pull and run the image without hitting the 250 MB unzipped deployment package size limit that applies to zip-based deployments.
