VM Install under AWS using VHDX
Download the VHDX from here.

Open the terminal
Configure AWS using CLI
aws configureAWS Access Key ID [None]: Use your accesskeyAWS Secret Access Key [None]: Use your secretkeyDefault region name [None]: us-west-2 (Any region of your choice)Default output format [None]:blank
...
Run below command on the terminal window:
| Info |
|---|
|
>>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" },
"Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
"Condition": {
"StringEquals":{
"sts:Externalid": "vmimport"
}
}
}
]
}
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"
],
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name",
"arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket-name/*"
]
},
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"ec2:ModifySnapshotAttribute",
"ec2:CopySnapshot",
"ec2:RegisterImage",
"ec2:Describe*"
],
"Resource": "*"
}
]
}
Attach the policy to the role used.
>> aws iam put-role-policy --role-name vmimport --policy-name vmimport --policy-document file://role-policy.json
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:
Allow SSH, https and https for the security group attached.
...
AMI will be created successfully.
...
Launch the AMI using EC2 instance under the tier of your requirement.
...
