Description

Creates an import volume task using metadata from the specified disk image.

This API action supports only single-volume VMs. To import multi-volume VMs, use import_image instead. To import a disk to a snapshot, use import_snapshot instead.

This API action is not supported by the Command Line Interface (CLI). For information about using the Amazon EC2 CLI, which is deprecated, see Importing Disks to Amazon EBS in the Amazon EC2 CLI Reference PDF file.

For information about the import manifest referenced by this API action, see VM Import Manifest.
