I tried to found the relevant solution on google, but unfortunately I couldn't get.

I am planning to migrate EC2 RHEL 7.1 instance to Amazon Linux 2.
I believe Server Migration Connector is used for migrating on-premises servers to AWS. Is it possible to use Server Migration Connector for migrating EC2 RHEL instance to Amazon Linux.
Server Migration Connector (SMC) is for lift-and-shift migrations, so your RHEL will be just migrated to the EC2 instance. SMC does not change your operating system from RHEL to AL2.
If you want to migrate from RHEL to AL2, you have to do it yourself, manually.
I have an EC2 running on AWS that I would like to migrate to an on-prem server. This, I understand, would require cloning EC2 which is answered here. The remaning task would be to run the EC2 clone on an on-prem server. Wat would be the steps to accomplish this. The on prem is running Redhat dist.
Thank you!
I am running a server in the Amazon EC2 which has a static IP Address, Can we migrate static IP from amazon EC2 to Lightsail, Is it possible?
It is not possible to migrate the Elastic IP Address from EC2 to Lightsail, because the service and control panel is different. Lightsail is a simplified service with console targeted to people who are familiar with other VPS provider.
I have implemented the Elastic Search by installing it into the EC2 as well as consuming the Managed service from aws.
Is there any similar way to install the ElastiCache into the EC2 rather than using managed service from AWS. If there is, how it will be installed in EC2?
Redis and Memcached both are very popular software for caching the data. You can install these on any platform including the EC2 server. You can follow memcached installation and Redis installation to install them on Ubuntu EC2 instance. AWS also offers the managed version of these as ElastiCache, wherein you have to choose which one you want to use ie Redis or Memcached.
As mentioned in the home page of elastiCache :
Managed, Redis or Memcached-compatible in-memory data store.
Benefits of having a self-managed (wherein you have to install/manage Redis or elasticsearh) is nicly explained here.
How do we connect AWS Lightsail to Elasticache? I've set VPC peering but that's as far as I get. Anyone knows a step-by-step guide that shows how to do it?
[edit]
We have an application that uses Memcached to persist some data between nodes. The installation currently uses 4 servers: two nodes, 1 RDBMS and 1 Memcached server and is currently running on DigitalOcean servers. Our intention is to install the nodes on Lightsail servers and use AWS services directly from the Lightsail servers, such as RDS and Elasticache.
There are no problems connecting to an RDS MySQL instance from the Lightsail servers but a timeout occurs when trying to attach to the Memcached service. I know it's a security issue, I just can't find any doc that makes that connection work.
