Monitor an export image task

To monitor the export of your image, use the following describe-export-image-tasks command:

aws ec2 describe-export-image-tasks --export-image-task-ids export-ami-1234567890abcdef0

The following is an example response. The status shown is active, which means that the export task is in progress. The image is ready to use when the status is completed.

{
  "ExportImageTasks": [
      {
          "ExportImageTaskId": "export-ami-1234567890abcdef0"
          "Progress": "21",
          "S3ExportLocation": {
              "S3Bucket": "amzn-s3-demo-export-bucket",
