Prerequisites for exporting an instance from Amazon EC2
To export a VM from Amazon EC2, first meet the following prerequisites.
-
Install the Amazon CLI. For more information, see the Amazon Command Line Interface User Guide.
Tip
In supported Amazon Web Services Regions, you can also use Amazon CloudShell for a browser-based, pre-authenticated shell that launches directly from the Amazon Web Services Management Console.
-
Create an S3 bucket for storing the exported instances or choose an existing bucket. The bucket must be in the Region where you want export your VMs. Additionally, the bucket must belong to the Amazon Web Services account where you are performing the export operation. For more information, see the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.
-
Prepare your S3 bucket by attaching an access control list (ACL) containing the following grants. For more information, see Managing Access with ACLs in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.
Important
You can't export a VM to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket that uses the bucket owner enforced setting for S3 Object Ownership because ACLs are disabled. For more information, see Configuring ACLs in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.
