EC2 VM Import/Export now supports migration of virtual machines with Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot to AWS
EC2 VM Import/Export now supports migration of virtual machines that use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot. UEFI is a modern firmware that initializes your operating system. You can now use EC2 VM Import/Export APIs to bring your UEFI based virtual machines directly to AWS EC2 without converting to legacy BIOS.
