Many thanks, this is what I missed. I thought only kiwi export was possible.

Would be great If it were possible to do directly through machinery 
command using studio API. And much more, would be great If machinery 
could detect appliance ID of the current system.

The use case is simple - to sync changes back to the studio appliance. 
Sometimes when I deploy an appliance from the studio, the appliance is 
not good enough configured and I have to tune it manually. Now I have to 
do this twice, because need to introduce same changes into the appliance.

The other possible use case could be to migrate 'typical' installation 
directly into the studio appliance.
