Migration of existing Windows EC2 instances to VMC

Hi all,

we're experiencing problems migrating ec2 instances (windows) to vmc.

we tried to use vmware standalone converter which successfully copied data to VMC and start the VM.

but, unfortunately, the VM stucks in the initial splash page (the one with the windows logo) forever.

the gear is actually rotating...

we also tried to start this converted VM with virtualbox and, surprise, the instance started succesfully without any problem.

any suggesgion?

is there an official guide for migrate instances from AWS to VMC avoiding these problems?

thanks,

We do not have an official guide as of now but the standard procedure for Standalone converter should work.

Few of my colleagues have tested this in LAB with successful results. We will try and publish an official guide soon.
