Follow these steps to export the virtual machine for migration to the AWS platform:
Open VMWare Workstation and select the newly created virtual machine.
Click on the File menu, and then choose Export to OVF…
Select the location where you want to save the export file.
Wait for approximately 5 minutes while the export process completes.
Once the export is done, access the location where the virtual machine was exported. Look for the .vmdk file, which will be used in the migration process.
