I am thinking about transferring VM machine assets to Digital Ocean. Can I use an AWS machine image to create a droplet. It would be Ubuntu or Centos based images.

I think that this should be OK as long as the file format matches one of the following:

  • Raw (.img) with an MBR or GPT partition table
  • qcow2
  • VHDX
  • VDI
  • VMDK

You can have a look at the documentation here.
