      Section number and name: 3.1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Image options on AWS 

      Describe the issue: There is an Important note in this section stating:

       

      You cannot convert an on-demand instance to a custom RHEL instance. To change from an on-demand image to a custom RHEL bring-your-own-subscription (BYOS) image:

1. Create a new custom RHEL instance and migrate data from your on-demand instance
2. Cancel your on-demand instance after you migrate your data to avoid double billing.

      Impact of this issue: Unnecessary work for customers to migrate to BYOL.

      Suggestions for improvement:

      License type conversions are now supported for RHEL by AWS License Manager. See Convert a license type for Linux in License Manager (link: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/license-manager/latest/userguide/conversion-procedures-linux.html) for instructions.
