I'm trying to run an export image task for hours with no results.

Question

```
C:\Users\ronen>aws ec2 export-image --image-id ami-0129baa76e4eaa35a --disk-image-format VHD --s3-export-location S3Bucket=myexportbucket12,S3Prefix=exports/

An error occurred (InvalidParameter) when calling the ExportImage operation: The service role vmimport provided does not exist or does not have sufficient permissions
```

How can it be even possible it fails here in the simulator?

Hello.

As stated in the error message, the VM Import/Export service role may not exist.  
If you have not created a service role, please try creating one by following the steps in the document below.
