Is it possible to change the availability zone of an existing EC2 t1.micro instance? [closed]
You cannot move an existing EC2 instance to a different availability zone directly.
However, the following approach can be used to move an instance to a different availability zone indirectly through a new AMI:
Stop (do not terminate!) the old instance in the old availability zone.
Create an AMI based on the old instance.
Run a new instance of the new AMI in the new availability zone. It will be a fairly exact copy of your old instance.
If you were using an Elastic IP address, re-associate it with the new instance.
Once you have tested the new instance and know that it's working well, terminate the old instance in the old availability zone.
