Disable a spot instance without losing the ip

henri 0

Hello everyone,

I have a Spot Ubuntu VM running on a fixed ip. I need a permanent availability of the VM, so I need to upgrade this VM by disabling the spot instance.

How can I do this without losing the fixed ip ?

Thank you for your time.

HI ,

There is no simplified ways to convert a SPOT VM to regular VM of a Regular VM to a SPOT VM , this can be achieved using CLI but may require Downtime and sometimes may result in failure.

You need to take Snapshot for the OS Disk , then Delete the VM without deleting the IP and Disk attached.

Once Done , you can recreate a Regular VM with the Snapshot of the OS Disk and attach the Disks and IP that was preserved from the earlier activity.
