Research direction

Start by reviewing the Python Lambda forwarder and the existing CloudFormation installation path described in the issue. The payload names no files or tests; done means providing a Dockerfile or official Docker image that can execute the forwarder in AWS Lambda.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Describe what you expected:
AWS Lambda supports not only zip file but also container image to execute python code. Container image is more and more convenience to manage infrastructure at the side of DevOps. So I request Dockerfile or an official docker image for lambda forwarder.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
