Question

I have an azure vm (windows server 2012) in data region X. Azure has just opened a new data center in geo region Y which is much closer to me. How can I easily mygrate my VM? Short downtimes are tolerable.

If I blob-copy the VM and then copy to a new container in the new datacenter, I'm not seeing how to attach the VHD as osdisk to a new VM when creating the VM via the management portal. Is this process only possible via PowerShell. Any other methods?

If only possible via PowerShell, pointers appreciated.

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can move the machines (including the blob-storage) as exampled here:

He explains how you can attach your disk from the portal as well.
