#export_to_s3(bucket, options = {}) ⇒ ExportTask

This produces an image of an EC2 instance for use in another virtualization environment and then writes the image to a S3 bucket.

Granting EC2 write access to your bucket

Before you can export an image to an S3 bucket, you must modify the bucket ACL. You only need to do this once per bucket.

s3.buckets['bucket-name'].acl.change do |acl|
  acl.grant(:read_acp).to(:amazon_customer_email => '[email protected]')
  acl.grant(:write).to(:amazon_customer_email => '[email protected]')
end

Performing the export

Simply call #export_to_s3 on your instance. Only instances derived from your own ImportInstance tasks may be exported.

 task = ec2.instances['i-12345678'].export_to_s3('bucket-name')

Downloading the results

Given a completed export task you can download the final image:

File.open('image.ova', 'w') {|f| f.write(task.s3_object.read) }

Parameters:

  • bucket (S3::Bucket, String)

    The destination bucket. May be the name of the bucket (string) or a S3::Bucket object. The bucket must exist and grant write permissiosn to the AWS account '[email protected].'.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

Options Hash (options):

  • :target_environment (String) — default: 'vmware'

    The target virtualization environment. Valid values include: 'vmware', 'citrix' and 'microsoft'.

  • :disk_image_format (String)

    The format for the exported image. Defaults to 'vmdk' if :target_environemnt is 'vmware', otherwise, 'vhd'.

  • :container_format (String)

    The container format used to combine disk images with metadata (such as OVF). If absent, only the disk image will be exported. Defaults to 'ova' if :target_environment is 'vmware', otherwise ommited.

  • :description (String)

    Description of the conversion task or the resource being exported.

  • :prefix (String) — default: nil

    The image is written to a single object in the bucket at the key:

    "#{prefix}#{export_task_id}.#{disk_image_format}"
    

Returns:
