Interesting. I wonder if they use an undocumented AWS feature or are snapshotting the volumes and copying them. My guess is the latter.

- davidjgraph 14y agoThe OA comment of "EBS snapshots cannot be moved between regions" should have "easily" inserted in there. I've seen quite a few full length processes for doing it, e.g: http://elastic-security.com/2011/02/10/how-to-copy-an-ebs-backed-ami-from-one-region-to-another-one/ http://elastic-security.com/2011/02/10/how-to-copy-an-ebs-ba... http://serverfault.com/questions/336321/how-do-i-migrate-amazon-ec2-windows-ami-or-instances-from-one-region-to-anothe http://serverfault.com/questions/336321/how-do-i-migrate-ama... I'm 95% sure they are just putting a UI over that lengthy process. But as I say, I've tried it and it worked perfectly for me. This is their process: http://blog.ylastic.com/migrating-snapshots-between-ec2-regions http://blog.ylastic.com/migrating-snapshots-between-ec2-regi...
