Why do you need such a big docker image? Use S3 for static assets. You are doing something wrong.

@landsman case 1. Gradio with Sentence BERT case 2. AWS Deep Learning Containers for Inference

I want to switch from Fargate(max 20GB) and Lambda(max 10GB) to AppRunner. But S3 is not a filesystem. I try download from S3 and unzip it, I got disk full error. I don't want to depends on S3 and external internet if possible.

Can not mount this kind of data from a file system like AWS EFS? Docker Image should contain only application data. I feel that App Runner is dedicated for light-weight things like web apps etc.

Docker Image should contain only application data

I also think the image size should be reduced somehow, but third-party libraries may download and cache model data on their own.

• same as #233

It's very unfortunate and sad.

The 3GB is indeed too low for many applications, specially if they require deep learning, graphics or maps packages.

I love App Runner but this limitation is way too harsh.
