As Microsoft continues to expand Azure global infrastructure and launch new Azure regions worldwide, there's an increasing number of options available for you to relocate your workloads into new regions. Region relocation options vary by service and by workload architecture. To successfully relocate a workload to another region, you need to plan your relocation strategy with an understanding of what each service in your workload requires and supports.

Azure region relocation documentation (Preview) contains service-specific relocation guidance for Azure products and services. The relocation documentation set is founded on both Azure Cloud Adoption Framework - Relocate cloud workloads as well as the following Well-architected Framework (WAF) Operational Excellence principles:

Each service specific guide can contain service-specific information on topics such as:

Service-relocation automation tools.
Data relocation automation.
Cutover approaches.
Possible and actual service dependencies that also require relocation planning.
Lists of considerations, features, and limitations in relation to relocation planning for that service.
Links to how-tos and relevant product-specific relocation information.
