Hey I want to see how can I move my agent to a new region?

Thanks for reaching out, Kushank. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — you're asking how to move your agent to a new region. Quick answers and next steps: • You set the deployment region with the CLI
--region
flag when creating or deploying an agent. Example: ◦
lk agent create --region us-west
• If you already have an agent, create/deploy a new instance in the target region using
lk agent create --region <region>
(or
lk agent deploy
from the agent directory after updating region settings). The CLI uploads, builds, and deploys to the chosen region. • LiveKit Cloud supports several regions (examples:
us-east
,
eu-central
,
ap-south
). If your desired region isn’t supported, you can self-host the agent in your own infrastructure to run in that region. • Note: there isn’t a single “move” command that transparently migrates an existing instance between regions; the practical approach is to deploy a new agent in the target region and switch traffic/IDs as needed. Deployments use rolling updates with graceful draining (old instances may remain handling sessions for up to ~30–60 minutes). Would you like: • Step-by-step commands for creating/deploying to a specific region (tell me which region), or • Help checking whether your target region is available on LiveKit Cloud?

But how can be have like a multi region deployment for my agent
t
Thanks — you're asking how to run your agent in multiple regions. Quick follow-ups so I can give precise steps: 1. Do you want: ◦ Active‑active (users routed to the nearest region, all regions serving traffic), or ◦ Active‑passive / failover (one primary region, others standby)? 1. Will you use LiveKit Cloud regions (us-east, eu-central, ap-south are examples) or do you plan to self‑host agents in specific clouds/regions? If you tell me the desired mode (active‑active vs failover) and which regions/provider you need, I’ll outline the recommended architecture and exact commands/steps to deploy and route traffic.
