Hello.

Why not try exporting it using the "create-instance-export-task" command?
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/export-instance.html

aws ec2 create-instance-export-task --description 'test' --instance-id <instance_id> --target-environment vmware --export-to-s3-task DiskImageFormat=vmdk,ContainerFormat=ova,S3Bucket=<bucket_name>

    Hi, when i try to use this command i get the error message "aws error An error occurred (NotExportable) when calling the CreateInstanceExportTask operation: This instance has no underlying snapshots." Any idea about this?

    Thanks
