Create an AWS HVM Linux AMI from an Existing Paravirtual Linux AMI
- by javacavaj
Is it possible to create a hardware virtual machine (HVM) AMI from an existing paravirtual (PV) AMI.
My initially thought was to start a new PV instance and use the ec2-create-image command to create a new image while specifying HVM as the virutalization type. However, ec2-create-image does not have a command line parameter to specify the virtualization type.
Is there another way to go about doing this?
