It's possible to export it to aws?

Thanks

A AWS EC2 instance is a virtual machine, while the LXC runs as a process isolated by cgroups and seccomp on the hosts linux kernel. So no, it is not possible to directly export it to AWS, as you require a kernel to run.

You could however export the service configuration ecc... from your container and import that on the EC2 instance?

What's the reason to migrate to AWS (just curious :))?
 
Eh eh .. why? Money bro.. always the money is the problem.
I have 3 one gbps hardware server and one 10 GB gbps. I will have 3 months of no jobs and my costs are high to maintain infrastructure for the next event.
Therefore I will power of all.. and I will start for single day Amazon 10gbps server and power off when finished.

What should be possible rather easily is to install Proxmox VE on the EC2 instance (by starting from a Debian 11 AMI and following the guide in the wiki [0]).
Than you could backup the LXC containers and restore them in the AWS instance.

Have never tried this myself, so take this with a grain of salt.
