Amazon EC2 and Compute Engine both provide ways to import existing machine images to their respective environments.
Amazon EC2 provides a service called VM Import/Export. This service supports a number of virtual machine image types—such as RAW, OVA, VMDK and VHD—as well as a number of operating systems, including varieties of Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS, Ubuntu, and Debian. To import a virtual machine, you use a command-line tool that bundles the virtual machine image and uploads it to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) as an AMI.
Similarly, Compute Engine provides the ability to import virtual machine images. This process allows you to import RAW image files from almost any platform. For example, you can convert AMI or VirtualBox VDI files to RAW format and then import them to Compute Engine. The import process is similar to Amazon's process, though less automated. While this process requires more manual effort than VM Import/Export, it does have the benefit of increased flexibility. After you convert your image, you upload the image to Cloud Storage, and then Compute Engine makes a private copy of the image to use. For more details about importing an existing image into Compute Engine, see Importing an Existing Image.
If you build your own custom operating systems and plan to run them on Compute Engine, ensure that they meet the hardware support and kernel requirements for custom images.
Apart from the cost of storing an image in Amazon S3 or Cloud Storage, neither AWS nor GCP charge for their respective import services.
