I can still see some issues in documentation: There is link for https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmimport-image-import.html I think it shouldn't link to image-import but rather prerequisites? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmie_prereqs.html containers.json file should be single object for snapshot-import so array should be removed in that file. "aws ec2 import-snapshot --disk-containers file://containers.json" should be "aws ec2 import-snapshot --disk-container file://containers.json" - only one container can be imported. Region should be set or there should be a warning that S3 bucket must be in same region as where we want to import snapshot. Otherwise I get this error: An error occurred (InvalidParameter) when calling the ImportSnapshot operation: The given S3 object is not local to the region I tried it with steps in documentation and it worked except some little nuances described above.
Verified in 5.11.2.1. I was able to create appliance image in AWS EC2 using import-snapshot functionality. Created separate BZ for documentation changes according the new process of importing image: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1797585
