Hello,

Can we manage virtual machine already create on the AWS site web through OpenNebula ?

Cheers

Currently there is no automatic procedure to do this but all the logic is
in the code. You would need to create a template like this:

NAME=<name_of_imported_vm>
CPU=<capacity of instance>
MEMORY=<capacity of instance>

VM_IMPORTED_ID=<instance ID on EC2>
PUBLIC_CLOUD=[TYPE="EC2"]

I think that should be enough but I didn’t test it myself. For next release
(4.14) we want to deliver this importing tool for all the supported
hypervisors (currently only vcenter has it).
