Thanks for the tip. I read through the tutorial you linked to

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/better-together-amazon-ecs-and-aws-lambda/

and this:

https://github.com/awslabs/lambda-ecs-worker-pattern

but still don't understand what to do. For instance, the instructions 
don't mention whether you have to install POV-Ray on the VM yourself, or 
if it comes pre-installed.

It is all very complex.


Mike
