Can reserved RDS instances be moved to different region

Question

**** I found the answer which is reserved RDS instances can't move region. ***

Hi,
We are planning to move our AWS resources from eu-west-1 to eu-west-2. Before that happens some of our RDS reservations will expire.

Will we have to take the hit of non reserved pricing until the move is complete, or can reserved RDS instances be moved to a different region?

Thanks for your input.

Answer

You've already found the answer (no, they can't be moved) but (not really answering the question): You can migrate data from one RDS to another - the first choice would be [Database Migration Service](https://aws.amazon.com/dms/) but there are other ways too such as a manual export/manual import.
