If you export an Amazon EC2 instance, access to the Microsoft Windows Server license key for that instance is no longer available through AWS. You are responsible for complying with the terms of your agreement(s) with Microsoft. Your on-premise Microsoft Windows Server license key will not be used by EC2 and you are free to reuse it for other Microsoft Windows VM images within your on-premise environment.

Hourly EC2 instance charges cover the Microsoft Windows Server software and underlying hardware resources. In general, when you import your Microsoft Windows VM images into Amazon EC2, AWS will provide the appropriate Microsoft Windows Server license key for your imported instance. You can learn more about the AWS Management Portal for vCenter here.

Once your import task is completed, you can use the ec2 run-instances command to create an Amazon EC2 instance from the AMI generated during the import process.Īlternatively, if you use the VMware vSphere virtualization platform, you can use the AWS Management Portal for vCenter, which provides you a simple graphical user interface to import your virtual machines.

Use the ec2 describe-import-image-tasks command to monitor the import progress.

As part of this command, you can specify the licensing model and other parameters for your imported image.

Once the VM image is uploaded, import your VM using the ec2 import-image command.

As an alternative, you can also send the VM image to AWS using the AWS Import service. Multi-part uploads will provide improved performance.

Upload the VM image to S3 using the AWS CLI.

Verify that your VM satisfies the prerequisites for VM Import, prepare it for import, and export it from its current environment as an OVA file (or VMDK, VHD, or RAW).

You can import Windows and Linux VMs that use VMware ESX or Workstation, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix Xen virtualization formats. And you can export previously imported EC2 instances to VMware ESX, Microsoft Hyper-V or Citrix Xen formats. You can then download and launch the exported VM within your on-premises virtualization infrastructure. You simply specify the target instance, virtual machine file format and a destination S3 bucket, and VM Import/Export will automatically export the instance to the S3 bucket.

If you use the VMware vSphere virtualization platform, you can also use the AWS Management Portal for vCenter to import your VM. To import your images, use the AWS CLI or other developer tools to import a virtual machine (VM) image from your VMware environment. VM Import/Export is available at no additional charge beyond standard usage charges for Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3. You can also export imported instances back to your on-premises virtualization infrastructure, allowing you to deploy workloads across your IT infrastructure. This offering allows you to leverage your existing investments in the virtual machines that you have built to meet your IT security, configuration management, and compliance requirements by bringing those virtual machines into Amazon EC2 as ready-to-use instances. VM Import/Export enables you to easily import virtual machine images from your existing environment to Amazon EC2 instances and export them back to your on-premises environment.
