<note> <p>To import your virtual machines (VMs) with a console-based experience, you can use the <i>Import virtual machine images to Amazon Web Services</i> template in the <a href="https://console.aws.amazon.com/migrationhub/orchestrator">Migration Hub Orchestrator console</a>. For more information, see the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/migrationhub-orchestrator/latest/userguide/import-vm-images.html"> <i>Migration Hub Orchestrator User Guide</i> </a>.</p> </note> <p>Import single or multi-volume disk images or EBS snapshots into an Amazon Machine Image (AMI).</p> <important> <p>Amazon Web Services VM Import/Export strongly recommends specifying a value for either the <code>--license-type</code> or <code>--usage-operation</code> parameter when you create a new VM Import task. This ensures your operating system is licensed appropriately and your billing is optimized.</p> </important> <p>For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vm-import/latest/userguide/vmimport-image-import.html">Importing a VM as an image using VM Import/Export</a> in the <i>VM Import/Export User Guide</i>.</p>
