    Hello Carlos, it looks like your VM move is being blocked because the Compute resource provider is in the middle of a system upgrade or backend migration. Azure temporarily restricts certain operations (like moves) while it’s upgrading or migrating resources to new infrastructure. Here’s what you can do:

    1. Wait for the upgrade/migration to finish
      • In most cases, these system upgrades complete within 24–48 hours.
      • Keep retrying your move operation periodically after a few hours.
    2. Check Azure Service Health and Resource Health
      • Go to the Azure portal > Service Health and filter for the region where your VM lives.
      • On the VM’s Overview page, open the Resource health blade to see any ongoing maintenance notifications.
    3. Redeploy the VM (if the block persists after the expected window)
      • Azure portal: VM > Support + troubleshooting > Redeploy
      • CLI:
        
             az vm redeploy --resource-group <your-rg> --name <your-vm-name>
        
        
    4. Escalate to Azure Support (if it’s been over 48 hours)
      • Open a support request and include: • Resource ID (from the VM’s Overview) • Correlation/Tracking IDs (from your error message) • Subscription ID and region This helps the backend team verify when the upgrade or platform alignment completes.

    Hope this helps! Thanks
