>>aws ec2 import-image --description "onPremCS" --disk-container "Format=VMDK,UserBucket={S3Bucket=onprem-v4,S3Key=Onprem VHDX.vhdx}"
...
If this import is not working follow the below steps as there might be an issue with the policy
Create a file named trust-policy.json with the following content:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": { "Service": "vmie.amazonaws.com" },

Use AWS CLI to create the role using below command:
>> aws iam create-role --role-name vmimport --assume-role-policy-document file://trust-policy.json
Create a file named role-policy.json with the following content (replace your-bucket-name with your actual S3 bucket name):
{
"Version":"2012-10-17",
"Statement":[
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:GetBucketLocation",
"s3:GetObject",
"s3:ListBucket"

After the steps are done rerun the first command in the point no. 5. The status can be checked using
>>aws ec2 describe-import-image-tasks
Few pointers:
