Migrating a Logic App from Region West Europe to Switzerland North

Question

Hey guys,

I have a couple of Logic Apps, that are currently located in the "West Europe" Region. I would now like to move these inside of the same Resource Group into the Region "Switzerland North". I already tried moving it by clicking the "move to new region"-button inside the Azure Portal, but for some reason this function is not available for these regions. Is there any other option to move these Logic Apps without having to completely recreate them from scratch, since they are pretty complex and are running productively.

Thanks in advance for any help!

@Glanzer Tizian When you want to move a logic app to a different region, your options depend on the way that you created your logic app. Based on the option that you choose, you must recreate or reauthorize the connections in your logic app.

In the Azure portal, recreate the logic app in the new region and reconfigure the workflow settings. To save time, you can copy the underlying workflow definition and connections from the source app to the destination app. To view the "code" behind a logic app, on the Logic App Designer toolbar, select Code view.

By using Visual Studio and the Azure Logic Apps Tools for Visual Studio, you can open and download your logic app from the Azure portal as an Azure Resource Manager template. This template is mostly ready for deployment and includes the resource definitions for your logic app, including the workflow itself, and connections. The template also declares parameters for the values to use at deployment. That way, you can more easily change where and how you deploy the logic app, based on your needs. To specify the location and other necessary information for deployment, you can use a separate parameters file.

If you created and deployed your logic app by using continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) tools, such as Azure Pipelines in Azure DevOps, you can deploy your app to another region by using those tools.
