I have a linux VM running on an esx-i server at home, and I would like to import the vmdk to aws using the ec2-import-instance command.
However I really don't need this to be any larger of an instance then an m1.small but because it's a linux image, the import command will only allow me to use a type m3.xlarge or larger.
So is there another option?
Can I run the import to an m3.xlarge, create an snapshot / image, and use that image to launch a smaller instance? (would that just break all kinds of things?)
Or am I stuck trying to rebuild this machine from the ground up on aws?
