This offering allows you to leverage your existing investments in the virtual machines that you have built to meet your IT security, configuration management, and compliance requirements by bringing those virtual machines into Amazon EC2 as ready-to-use instances. You can also export imported instances back to your on-premises virtualization infrastructure, allowing you to deploy workloads across your IT infrastructure.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: ";trebuchet ms"; , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
