ABX AWS actions using Python dependencies with compiled binaries are failing to execute on AWS Lambda

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
ABX AWS actions are failing with an error similar to
 

Runtime.ImportModuleError: Unable to import module 'abx_wrapper': /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by /var/task/cryptography/hazmat/bindings/_rust.abi3.so)

Environment

VMware vRealize Automation 8.8.x
VMware vRealize Automation 8.7.x

Cause

When using Python in AWS Lambda and adding dependencies (such as Paramiko), ABX installs the requested dependencies and then creates a zip bundle for AWS Lambda.

This issue occurs due to the dependencies installation command not containing --platform manylinux2014_x86_64 tag.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in VMware vRealize Automation 8.9.1, available at VMware Downloads.

To work around this issue if you are unable to upgrade, create a zip package for the script:

1. Create a directory for your files, for example "abx-action".
2. In the directory, add your client_main.py and requirements.txt files.
3. In the directory, install the dependencies from requirements.txt file using the command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt --platform manylinux2014_x86_64 --target=/home/user/abx-action --python 3.7 --only-binary=:all:

4. Inside the directory run the command:

zip -r ../abx-action.zip
