How to Perform Amazon EC2 P2V Conversion with Vinchin?

P2V (Physical-to-Virtual) migration is the process of converting a physical server into a virtual machine that runs on Amazon EC2 infrastructure. Many organizations choose P2V to move their existing workloads to the cloud, making it easier to manage resources, scale quickly, and improve disaster recovery. By migrating physical servers to Amazon EC2, you can cut hardware costs and gain flexibility without having to reinstall your operating systems or applications.
