ec2-migrate-manifest

Description

Modify a bundled AMI to work in a new region. For information on regions, go to the

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

You must use this command if you are bundling in one region for use in another or if you copy a bundled AMI out of band (without using ec2-migrate-bundle) and want to use it in a different region.

[Note]Note

This command replaces the kernel and RAM disk in the manifest file with a kernel and RAM disk designed for the destination region.

Syntax

ec2-migrate-manifest -k private_key -c cert -a access_key_id -s secret_key --manifest manifest_path --ec2cert ec2_cert_path [--kernel kernel-id] [--ramdisk ramdisk_id] {--no-mapping} --region mapping_region_name
