migrate a linux with overlayfs to AWS

Hello and thank you for reaching out with your question.

In short, YES, it is possible to migrate your Linux VM with overlayfs to AWS. To do this you will need to import your source root disk image as a snapshot to create an AMI (Amazon Machine Image) and then use that AMI to run your EC2 servers. Note, due to the nature of this custom AMI setup, it may require you to debug any issues that may occur when booting up from your end. 
 
I will attach some links to documentation with further information below.

Please reach out if you have any further questions.
