/#Action=CopyImage

http://ec2.{region}.amazonaws.com/#Action=CopyImage

Initiates the copy of an AMI. You can copy an AMI from one Region to another, or from a Region to an Outpost. You can't copy an AMI from an Outpost to a Region, from one Outpost to another, or within the same Outpost. To copy an AMI to another partition, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_CreateStoreImageTask.html">CreateStoreImageTask</a>. To copy an AMI from one Region to another, specify the source Region using the SourceRegion parameter, and specify the destination Region using its endpoint. Copies of encrypted backing snapshots for the AMI are encrypted. Copies of unencrypted backing snapshots remain unencrypted, unless you set <code>Encrypted</code> during the copy operation. You cannot create an unencrypted copy of an encrypted backing snapshot. To copy an AMI from a Region to an Outpost, specify the source Region using the SourceRegion parameter, and specify the ARN of the destination Outpost using DestinationOutpostArn. Backing snapshots copied to an Outpost are encrypted by default using the default encryption key for the Region, or a different key that you specify in the request using KmsKeyId. Outposts do not support unencrypted snapshots. For more information, <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/snapshots-outposts.html#ami"> Amazon EBS local snapshots on Outposts</a> in the Amazon EC2 User Guide. For more information about the prerequisites and limits when copying an AMI, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/CopyingAMIs.html">Copy an AMI</a> in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
