I am just moving my Azure services created in west europe to south india. I validated the dependencies successfully. Also, I have moved all the resources except the virtual machine, You can see that in the screenshot attached. You can also see that the VM fails to move. I am getting the following error when I try to initiate the moving opration. That too attached below. As I understand, the kernel version is not supported. Is there any possible solution for this or any other alternate way to move my VM from one region to the other apart from Azure Resource Mover?
nb : I am using ubuntu version 20.04 in my VM

Now I have my Network Security Group, Network Interface, Public IP and the virtual network in the new region. Only the VM failed to move. Is there any other way to move the VM too and make it up with all the other components and shut down the VM and related resources in the old region?

    Hello @Jithin M V ,
    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft QnA. Happy to answer your question.
    Yes, you are correct, Ubuntu 20.04 is not supported for moving across regions using Azure Resource Mover as mentioned here.

    You can also move VMs from one region to another using Azure Site Recovery. However, there are some prerequisites to it. In your case, as you want to move the VM West Europe to South India, it will not be possible as per the region support.

    Hope this helps. If you have further queries, please feel free to respond back and tag me in your reply. Thank You.
