Import VM using AWS CLI

Question

I need to import a VM(on-prem) onto the cloud using the VM import/export tools. What exact CLI command I need to give to import an OVA?

Thanks!

Hey, you can use the following command to import an OVA:

aws ec2 import-image --description "My server VM" --disk-containers "file://C:\import\containers.json

If you wish to import multiple disks, use the following command:

aws ec2 import-image --description "My server disks" --disk-containers "file://C:\import\containers.json"
