Hi @ca0abinary finally this Dockerfile works for me with sqlserver version 17,

FROM lambci/lambda:build-python3.8

RUN yum -y update
RUN curl ftp://ftp.unixodbc.org/pub/unixODBC/unixODBC-2.3.5.tar.gz -O &&

cd unixODBC-2.3.5 &&
./configure --sysconfdir=/opt/python --disable-gui --disable-drivers --enable-iconv --with-iconv-char-enc=UTF8 --with-iconv-ucode-enc=UTF16LE --prefix=/home &&
make install &&
cd .. &&
mv /home/* . &&
mv unixODBC-2.3.5 unixODBC-2.3.5.tar.gz /tmp
RUN curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/6/prod.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/mssql-release.repo &&

RUN export CFLAGS="-I/root/include" &&

pip install pyodbc requests adodbapi pyDes ptvsd --upgrade -t .
RUN cp -r /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql .
RUN echo $'[ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]\n
Driver = ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server\n
Description = My ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server\n
Trace = No' > /root/odbc.ini
RUN echo $'[ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server]\n
Description = Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server\n
Driver = /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/lib64/libmsodbcsql-17.6.so.1.1\n
UsageCount = 1' > /root/odbcinst.ini
RUN mkdir -p /opt/python &&
cp -r /root/* /opt/python &&
mv /opt/python/lib /opt &&
mv /opt/python/bin /opt &&
cd /opt &&
zip -r /python-odbc.zip .

all needed to change is this line: Driver = /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/lib64/libmsodbcsql-17.6.so.1.1\n
because the way lambda accesses the lambda layer content.

Thanks for your work on figuring out the issue @Ranjith072!

Thanks @Ranjith072 and @ca0abinary !
FYI: I used this Dockerfile above to build a lambda layer (I'm on Catalina) to communicate with SQL Server, and it solved my issue. Below is a formatted version of the Dockerfile for anyone else who runs into this issue.
