Research direction

The issue names AWS Lambda, AWS ECR, Docker buildx, and OCI indexes but provides no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the Lambda container-image and OCI index behavior described in the issue; done means Lambda can pull the platform-specific digest from the index without disabling provenance.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Tell us about your request
Support pulling container images via OCI index platform-specific digest lookup.

Which service(s) is this request for?
AWS Lambda

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?
Recent versions of Docker buildx default to enabling provenance which causes an OCI index to be created with the specified image tag pointing to untagged image(s).
However, AWS Lambda does not support pulling the image by looking up the image via its platform-specific digest in that OCI index.

Error message:

The image manifest, config or layer media type for the source image <image_name> is not supported. (Service: Lambda, Status Code: 400, Request ID: <request_id>) (SDK Attempt Count: 1)"

Are you currently working around this issue?
By disabling provenance during image builds.

Additional context
Registry is AWS ECR.
