+For my EC2 Instance, the AMI creation took around 5 Minutes. I have an EC2 that has an 8Gb Magnetic store, this store is about 80% full.
+\\
+\\
+After the AMI Creation is complete, the status will change to <color #22b14c>available</color>.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_move_instance_006.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+This is the back process complete.
+\\
+\\
+Next we need to make the AMI available in our new region (AZ).
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_move_instance_007.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+Select <color #ff7f27>Actions</color>, then <color #ff7f27>Copy AMI</color>.
+\\
+\\
+The Copy AMI page will open.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_move_instance_008.jpg?600 |}}
+\\
+We have to make some initial choices here:
+\\
+\\
+**Destination Region:**    This is the new AZ for your EC2 Instance (I want it in London)
+**Name:**                  A name to identify the copied AMI (you will need this, so make it obvious)
+\\
+\\
+Select <color #ff7f27>Copy AMI</color>.
+\\
+\\
+A Copy AMI Confirmation window will open.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_move_instance_008.jpg?600 |}}
+\\
+Select <color #ff7f27>Done</color>.
+\\
+\\
+This also took around 5 minutes to complete for my EC2 Instance.
+\\
+\\
+Before you continue, it is very important to ensure that you are now working in the correct AZ (Availability Zone).
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_move_instance_010.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+In the top right of the web interface, ensure you see your zone.
+\\
+\\
+Before you continue, ensure that the status for the AMI is <color #22b14c>available</color>.
