Feature Request: Kaniko example usage as a library?

[StevenACoffman]

I would love to be able to invoke kaniko as an AWS Lambda or google cloud function.
I am not sure if anyone has already attempted this, and I know it's pretty different than standard usage. Just thought I'd mention in case there was other interest.

Thanks for opening this @StevenACoffman ! Note that Kaniko uses https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry under the hood, which might meet your needs - if not, can you give us some examples of what you'd like to do with this library?

[StevenACoffman]

Thanks! I would like make a github commit generate a docker container with a AWS Lambda invocation. I can easily make an AWS Lambda webhook listener that subscribes to github events like commits, but then I need to go tell some other server to start up to build the container with kaniko. I can use AWS Codebuild, or leave some persistent servers around even when I don't need them, but I'd rather just use kaniko inside a lambda.

Re-triaging -- would this not be also possible with AWS Fargate? That's more of a good use case for Kaniko, methinks...

@bobcatfish you didn't reply on the use case explained by @StevenACoffman since 3+ years.
We have similar use case as yours @StevenACoffman
Up! please

For Go code, I actually had a lot better luck using google/ko as a library per ko-build/ko#554

+1 Kaniko on AWS Lambda

I also wanted to use kaniko on AWS Lambda.
Since we can only write in /tmp, I came up with one dumb solution: change every / into /tmp in the source code.
And it didn't work for some reason. Feel free to see the modified code and how I used it.

I think maybe chroot could make it work? I didn't actually try it, but I have a good feeling about it.
