Transferring ec2 instances between accounts

I'm writing an app for a client on a ec2 instance, and now it's time to setup a prod ec2 instance under his AWS account. 开发者_StackOverflowCan I somehow transfer the ec2 instance which is running under my account to his account? Or I would have to create prod environment from scratch?

Create an AMI of that instance and share the AMI with the other account. Take note of "Sharing an AMI with Specific Users":

aws.amazon.com/articles/530

You can create an AMI through the AWS GUI by selecting your source instance, clicking the "Instance Actions" dropdown and clicking "Create Image".
