How to move servers between AWS regions


Step 1 — Create AMI in Source Region

In AWS console:

EC2 → Instances
Select your instance
Actions → Image and templates → Create Image

Wait until AMI is ready.


Step 2 — Copy AMI to Destination region

Go to:

EC2 → AMIs
Select AMI
Actions → Copy AMI
Destination region → US East (N. Virginia)

Step 3 — Launch new instance

Switch region to N. Virginia

EC2 → AMIs → Launch instance

Your server will start in us-east-1.


Important: IP address will change

You will get a new public IP, which we can  configure it in our DNS.
