Can I Change the Region for a Purchased ECS?

Sorry, you cannot change the region after the ECS is purchased. During the ECS purchase, you are advised to select the region nearest to your services for lower network latency and quick resource access.

If you need to change the region for a purchased ECS, you can use the IMS service to migrate the ECS data across regions.

An example is provided as follows:

ecs01 in region A needs to be migrated to region B.

1. Create full-ECS image image01 for ecs01 in region A.
2. Replicate image01 from region A to region B. Then, image01-copy is in region B.
3. Use image01-copy to create an ECS named ecs02 in region B.

   Data in ecs01 in region A is migrated to ecs02 in region B.
