Amazon Linux 2023

Hello, I am using Amazon Linux 2023 on ec2. I have configured the environment and I am using Magento 2 on the instance. Is it possible to export the instance with the application to OVA to run applications in VmWare on my local PC?

There are some package differences between the base images for Amazon Linux 2023 for running in EC2 and running on VMWare. These differences are documented in the Amazon Linux 2023 User Guide in the Comparing packages installed on Amazon Linux 2023 standard AMI with the AL2023 VMware OVA Image section. If you are moving the content of an EBS volume to a local disk image to use in VMWare, you'll need to switch around some packages that are in that list (and regenerate the initramfs). Mostly this is the packages with "ec2" and "onprem" in the names, variants of configuration that mean that we can highly optimize for the EC2 environment, as well as for other environments such as running under VMWare.
