Okay, Now we are going to import our OVA files using AWS CLI tool. I've already created S3 bucket in my AWS account and uploaded OVA files also, put it in bucket named "exported-vmdk"
Let's open our terminal/cmd console or whatever console you're using with AWS CLI and type the following command to import OVA file and convert it into AMI image.
Here's my example of the command:
>aws ec2 import-image --cli-input-json "{ \"Description\": \"Ubuntu OVA\", \"DiskContainers\": [ { \"Description\": \"First CLI task\", \"UserBucket\": { \"S3Bucket\": \"exported-vmdk\", \"S3Key\" : \"ubuntu.ova\" } } ]}"
****S3Bucket is the bucket name on S3, S3Key is the name of the OVA file you're going to import
****Don't forget to change the command to suit with your environment.
Now If it successes, you can track the importing status by using the given image ID with this command:
>aws ec2 describe-import-image-tasks –import-task-ids <image-ID>
Once everything is done, login to AWS console, go to EC2 and look for AMI section. There will be an AMI image wait for you to create a new instance.
Nice post!
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify, the command to track the status should have a double dash, like this:
aws ec2 describe-import-image-tasks --import-task-ids
Also, you have to set the vmimport policy
Many thanks! Большое спасибо!
