When using API Gateway, the region where the business is located usually needs to be selected in advance, but in some cases, it may be necessary to switch regions.
For example, if Region B offers better pricing, or if Region A is unusable due to force majeure, it may be necessary to migrate the services from Region A to Region B. When creating services on API Gateway, a region is selected. This document will guide you to migrate services from Region A to Region B.
Note:
API Gateway service is a management tool for a set of API services, each involving different backend configurations. Currently, it's not possible to directly migrate services across regions; instead, the process requires the use of export and import tools.
