Moving users from one Ec2 machine to another – Amazon web services

I have an Amazon Linux machine, where users log in and connect to other servers (Bastion server), now I have upgraded my Linux machine to.

How do I move all the users present in server1 to Server2

Things I have tried:

  1. created snapshots of Server1
  2. converted to volumes and attached it to Server2.

Please suggest what else I can do to get all users from Server1
