Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm running XVM on my laptop. XVM has
got FreeBSD installed with all the required ports to run
APACHE/PHP.  I want this .vdi file to be imported into an EC2
instance.    • Is it possible to import a virtual OS to Amazon
EC2?   • If yes, does it get all the libs installed and DBs
created or just OS?   • Could somebody please share
pointers/hints on how to do this!  Any help is much appreciated
:)  share|improve this question This may actually be possible.
Amazon allows you to import VMDK (VMWare) images into EC2. Also,
it is possible to convert a VDI to a VMDK. You will need to use
one of the available kernels that Amazon provides. If it
succeeds, you would get the entire contents of the drive -
operating system + all the data - the kernel should be
replaceable, and the keyfiles may be modified. –  cyberx86 Feb

answer, no – you should use one of the available AMI's for
