How do I migrate Azure resources between regions using Pulumi?

In this guide, we will demonstrate how to migrate resources between Azure regions using Pulumi. We will create a move collection, add resources to it, and define the target region for migration. We will use the azure-native Pulumi provider to achieve this.

Key Points:

Create a move collection.
Add resources to the move collection.
Define the target region for the move.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azureNative from "@pulumi/azure-native";

// Define the resource group
const resourceGroup = new azureNative.resources.ResourceGroup("resourceGroup", {
    location: "eastus",
});

// Create a move collection
const moveCollection = new azureNative.migrate.MoveCollection("moveCollection", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    location: "eastus",
    properties: {
        sourceRegion: "eastus",
        targetRegion: "westus",
    },
});

// Define resources to be moved
const moveResource = new azureNative.migrate.MoveResource("moveResource", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    moveCollectionName: moveCollection.name,
    properties: {
        sourceId: "/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/resourceGroups/<source-resource-group>/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/<vm-name>",
    },
});

// Export the move collection ID
export const moveCollectionId = moveCollection.id;

Summary:

In this guide, we created a move collection to facilitate the migration of resources between Azure regions. We defined the source and target regions and added a resource to be moved. Using Pulumi, we can efficiently manage and automate the migration process.
