Move an Azure Automanage virtual machine to a different region
This article describes how to keep Automanage enabled on a virtual machine (VM) when you move it to a different region. You might want to move your virtual machines to another region for a number of reasons. For example, to take advantage of a new Azure region, to meet internal policy and governance requirements, or in response to capacity planning requirements. Those VMs that you move may be currently Automanaged, and you may want them to remain Automanaged after your move.
Prerequisites
- Ensure that your target region is supported by Automanage.
- Ensure that your Log Analytics workspace region, Automation account region, and your target region are all regions supported by the region mappings here.
Prepare your Automanaged VMs for moving
Disable Automanage on your Automanaged VMs. You can do this by selecting your VMs in the Automanage blade and clicking Disable automanagement in the Automanage blade.
Move your Automanaged VMs and re-enable Automanage
For details on how to move your VMs, see this article.
Once you have moved your VMs across regions, you may re-enable Automanage on them again. Details are available here.
