When you export your virtual machine (VM) from its virtualization environment, that process creates a set of one or more disk container files that act as snapshots of your VM’s environment, settings, and data. The Amazon EC2 API ImportImage action uses those files to import your VM and create an AMI. To import using the CLI command, see import-image
You can reference the task ID from the VM import to pull in the AMI that the import created as the base image for your Image Builder recipe.
For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to ImportVmImageAsync.
