When But when I tried to create a Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server resource, it was not possible to create it in West Europe. I tried several locations, finally have chosen the Central West Germany. I would like to have on one location, but it is not possible to move it using resource mover. How to do it?

Hi Winking ,

Unfortunately, not all Azure services support cross-region moves, and Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server is one of them. To consolidate your resources in one location, you'll need to create a new PostgreSQL flexible server in your desired region. Then, migrate your data and configurations from the existing server to the new one. Utilize Azure Database migration tools and scripts for a smooth transition. Remember to update your application connection strings to point to the new server location. While this may involve some downtime during migration, it's currently the most viable option for achieving your goal within Azure's constraints. Regards, Saravanan Ganesan.
