Exporting an instance as a VM using VM Import/Export
Exporting as a VM is useful when you want to deploy a copy of an Amazon EC2 instance in your virtualization environment. You can export most EC2 instances to Citrix Xen, Microsoft Hyper-V, or VMware vSphere.
When you export an instance, you are charged the standard Amazon S3 rates for the bucket where
the exported VM is stored. In addition, there might be a small charge for the temporary use
of an Amazon EBS snapshot. For more information about Amazon S3 pricing, see Amazon Simple Storage Service Pricing
