Support for OVA, VMDK, VHD/VHDX, and raw image import and export to S3 #56

Add native support for importing VM Images into EC2 via EC2 Image Builder. These images will be usable as parent images within image recipes. This work will also include console changes to simply the experience.

Just curious, is this live/merged in yet?

This feature is available, https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2021/12/ec2-image-builder-console-custom-image-creation-on-premise-images/

that announcement seems to cover the Import of Images into Imagebuilder from S3. But I do not see any features that allow an export of images to S3, which is what this issue seems to imply. "Support for OVA, VMDK, VHD/VHDX, and raw image import and EXPORT to S3"

Good point, the announcement didn't speak to exporting.

The Import and export VM images documentation links to the Create distribution settings for output VM disks content.

The relevant piece on that page is the s3ExportConfiguration which handles the export to VMDK, RAW or VHD formats.
