import_instance#
- EC2.Client.import_instance(**kwargs)#
Note
We recommend that you use the ImportImage API. For more information, see Importing a VM as an image using VM Import/Export in the VM Import/Export User Guide.
Creates an import instance task using metadata from the specified disk image.
This API action is not supported by the Command Line Interface (CLI). For information about using the Amazon EC2 CLI, which is deprecated, see Importing a VM to Amazon EC2 in the Amazon EC2 CLI Reference PDF file.
This API action supports only single-volume VMs. To import multi-volume VMs, use ImportImage instead.
For information about the import manifest referenced by this API action, see VM Import Manifest.
