Abstract
A provider network may implement compute instance migrations across availability zones. Compute instances may be located in a particular availability zone of provider network that is implemented across multiple availability zones. A request may be received, from a client of the provider network or other component of the provider network, to migrate a compute instance that is currently operating for a client and located in one availability zone to another availability zone. A destination compute instance may be provisioned in the other availability zone based on a configuration of the currently operating compute instance. In some embodiments, other computing resources utilized by the currently operating compute instance, such as data storage resources, may be moved to the other availability zone. Migration may be completed such that the destination compute instance is currently operating for the client and the compute instance is not.
