Hi,
We have resource group(RG1) created in Germany region. Resource created are

  1. Vnet
  2. VPN gateway
  3. Disks - HDD
  4. VM (database installed)

We wanted to use Azure machine learning service to read data from database(present in resource group RG1 in German region). We later found that azure machine learning service is not available in Germany region and in order to create end points for Azure ML service both the networks(vnets of the DB and Azure ML ) should be in the same region.

So we tried migrating the resource and resource group (RG1) from German region to west Europe by using wizard on the portal. But we got prompted that disk , vnet and vpn gateway cannot be moved to different region ) .

Is there anyway we could move them ? or any alternate solutions ? .Else, we would end up recreating every thing in westeurope which i would like to avoid.

Regards,
Suman

    @Suman Karanam , There is a process in Azure to move VNET across region using ARM template. But, it is almost kind of recreating the resource with a automated template with desired configuration.

    For VNET:

    Method1: You can use an Azure Resource Manager template to complete the move of the virtual network to another region. You do this by exporting the virtual network to a template, modifying the parameters to match the destination region, and then deploying the template to the new region.

    Ref Doc : Move an Azure virtual network to another region by using the Azure portal

    OR

    Method2: You can use the latest Azure service called "Azure Resource Mover" to move VNET's across regions,

    Ref Doc : Azure Resource Mover

    For VPN gateway: AFAIK, today you can move VPN Gateway across Resource Groups and subscriptions only.
