Thank you. I’ve looked at this documentation and the issue is it assumes you’re building with regions in mind from the start but it doesn’t seem to cover converting an existing standalone. For example, the database creation specifies a region ID. What if you’re past this point and the region ID for the cluster you want to “regionize” is set to 1 as the default.
Is there no way to take the pieces of a vm backup and apply that to a new cluster? Is there a different way to backup a vm and restore it to a new cluster?
