Hi All

I want to clone a VM with all the applications installed, in another region.

What I've done :

  1. I've shutdown the VM1
  2. create a snapshot of the Disk1 related to the VM1
  3. create a new disk2 from the snapshot
  4. create new VM2 with the new Disk2 in new region and new network
  5. I can access the VM but no applications installed.

How can I clone the current VM in Azure with all the applications installed ?

Thank you for your help.

    I have only one VM and one Disk.
    VM1 is the original and VM2 is the new one

    I created a copy using the powershell but it has the exact same name and same region.
    Also I can't connect to using RDP
