When you migrate the application, you specify both the AMI instance and the Amazon EC2 instance.
You can use an existing EC2 instance, or you can specify a new EC2 instance. If you specify a new EC2 instance, the Commvault software creates the instance in the Amazon cloud.
If you need additional storage for the data, you can add a new storage device for the instance.
