Importing the Imagizer Image

Import the Imagizer image from the shared S3 bucket into your AWS account in the us-east-1 region.

aws ec2 import-image \
  --description "imagizer-enterprise-14.1-84.1.vmdk" \
  --disk-containers "Format=vmdk,Url=s3://imagizer-enterprise-images/imagizer-enterprise-14.1-84.1.vmdk"

Note: The import takes 20-40 minutes. You can check the status of the import with the following command.

After you import the image into your AWS account, you can then copy the image to another region for use.

aws ec2 copy-image \
    --region us-west-1 \
    --name ami-name \
    --source-region us-east-1 \
    --source-image-id ami-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX \
    --description "imagizer-enterprise-XX.X-XX.X"
