initially, i go with A, but there is no "EC2 VM Import Connector for vCenter" There is only have Server Migration Connector which used to migrate on-premise VM to AWS. So, i go with B

I understand A definitely is better but wonder why B is incorrect? Is it simply because an EBS snapshot cannot be directly attach to EC2?
