Issue
In the start when I was new to aws I was not knowing that how much the selection of regions impact the performance of the system. At that time I created my ec2 and rds instances in sydney but the system will be used in Mexico which is 14000+ km away from Sydney.
Now a lot of configurations are done on those instances. Is there any way I can move these instances to another region? similarly how i can move other configuration like route 53 and elastic ips as well?
Solution
It's not possible to move an existing instance to another subnet, Availability Zone, or VPC. Instead, you can manually migrate the instance by creating a new Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from the source instance. Then, launch a new instance using the new AMI in the desired subnet, Availability Zone, or VPC. Finally, you can reassign any Elastic IP addresses from the source instance to the new instance.
