描述

Feature request - allow exporting an image using the AWS VM export service.

Amazon allows export of running VMs to OVF format given a target bucket. this is extremely handy for multi-cloud installations where a single unified source is needed, in order to build both the AMI and the OVF in the same step using AWS resources.

Implementation suggestion:

optional keys for the AWS builders: 'export_machine' (defaults to false), export_s3_bucket, export_s3_prefix, export_target_environment, export_container_format. issue the export command before shutting down the machine.

研究方向
Examine the existing AWS builder code in 'builder/amazon' directory. The feature requires adding optional keys to the builder configuration and invoking the CreateInstanceExportTask API before shutdown. Review AWS SDK for Go for API details. No linked PR or maintainer comment is present, so the approach is open for discussion.
