Hi,
Is there any way to migrate to a closer data region?
I understand that back when we first signed up for PowerBI there was no region selection and we are now hosted in Ireland.
Australia or Southeast Asia would be a better.
Is there a follow up to this anwer?
I recently made a request to migrate to a closer region. It takes some administration. But microsoft did an excelent job.
Steps to procede:
Become the administator of the power-BI tennant.
Get backup of an azure tennant administrator.
Request a support ticket using get help (top right of the powerbi menu)
State clearly from region you wish to come and go. mention your tennant guid.
You will get a respond from the service dep. with a clearly document how to procede. You make a request with 3 options of downtime (during 6 hours) at least 8 days later than you plan send in the form. Let it sign by your azure tennant administrator (on paper nothing more fancy) scan it an mail it back. After a few days a confirm of stating one of the 3 options as chosen option is given. I did request some response.
They do request to make a copy of your work on the tennant. But I did not lose anything. Even datarefreshes using credentials are still working.
There is some impact stating in the migration document
Impact to customer is as follows:
The day after your migration you are again informed that the migration is succesful and they ask you to confirm if all is OK.
+1 Our data is in Singapore and wouldn't mind moving to Australia if a data centre exists.
I don't think the data region can be changed for existing Power BI tenant. We have to create a new Power BI tenant and migrate all the existing Power BI workloads to the new tenant.
