Hi Rocky,

I had migrated my all working kvm based stuff which covers Linux + windows to EC2. Follow below steps to do this.

1) convert your kvm based guest vm image to xen
2) deploy xenserver at spare machine
3) import kvm converted image to xen
4) export from xen as ovf/ova format as per demand of aws
5) use  ec2-import-instance


if you face any problem to do these , let me know.

Regards
Tejas

Hi,

Please check the following

Using the Import/Export Tools

VM Import/Export offers two ways to import your virtual machine into Amazon EC2.

The first method is to import your VM image using the Amazon EC2 API tools.. To get started, simply:

Download the VM Import Command Line Tools from Amazon EC2 API tools.

Import the VMDK, VHD or RAW file via the ec2-import-instance API. The import instance task captures the parameters necessary to properly configure the Amazon EC2 instance properties (instance size, availability zone, and security groups) and uploads the disk image into Amazon S3.

If ec2-import-instance is interrupted or terminates without completing the upload, use ec2-resume-import to resume the upload. The import task will resume where it left off.

Use the ec2-describe-conversion-tasks command to monitor the import progress and obtain the resulting Amazon EC2 instance ID.

Once your import task is completed, you can boot the Amazon EC2 instance by specifying its instance ID to the ec2-run-instances API.

Finally, use the ec2-delete-disk-image command line tool to delete your disk image from Amazon S3.

You can get more information from amazon documentation http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/vm-import/

Hope will help you.

Regards
Rocky
