Is-there an easy way to upgrade from Amazon Linux AMI to Amazon Linux 2 AMI, or do I have to create a new instance and do again all my server setup ?

You can't update the AMI of an instance without replacing it with a new instance. Typically you simply run the operating system updates - yum update / apt update & upgrade / windows update.
AWS Marketplace customers can now modify their AMI and Container upfront contract pricing based subscriptions.
To migrate to Amazon Linux 2, launch an instance or create a virtual machine using the current image. Install your application on Amazon Linux 2, plus any packages required by your application. Test your application, and make any changes required for it to run on Amazon Linux 2.
There is no easy way. You have to create a new Linux 2 instance.
