Instance migration to other project

One way to migrate is by creating a snapshot (image) of the instance and launching a new instance from that image in the target project.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Create a snapshot of the instance.
  2. Add permissions for the snapshot image in the target project:

Operations performed with credentials in the source project:
openstack image set --shared image_id` `openstack image add project image_id target_project
Operation performed with credentials in the target project: 
openstack image set image_id --accept --project target_project
3. Launch an instance from the image.

It is possible to transfer a public IP address between projects by OpenStack administrators.
