Moving a VM to a different availability zone
When creating a VM, you can choose the Yandex.Cloud availability zone where it will be located.
You can't move a VM to a different availability zone, but you can create a copy of it in a different availability zone.
To change the availability zone of a VM:
- Create a snapshot of each of the VM's disks, see Creating a disk snapshot.
- Create a VM in a different availability zone with the disks from the snapshots, see Create a VM with disks restored from snapshots.
- Delete the original VM, see Deleting a VM.
