I created this new Sandbox cloud, which points to a Sandbox resource pool. I put a Cloud policy on this cloud which will start enforcing some expiration extension policies. I was wondering if it is possible to move a couple of instances that were formerly deployed on the legacy cloud, to this cloud, so that I can start getting these folks to extend their VMs with this new policy. But I don’t see a way to move an instance from one cloud to another. Is this possible?

We have Change Cloud functionality on 5.4.9 LTS now, it’s coming soon to 5.5.2 standard. Take a look at my demo that @rboyd linked above and see if it will work for your need.
hmmm. I will have to maybe try it out. In the video, a “target” VM has been stood up in the target cloud.
The use case I have, is that I have a VM that was stood up by one of our groups. If I go into vCenter and drag that VM from the PoC Resource Pool (POC cloud) into the Sandbox Resource Pool (SBOX cloud - which has an expiration policy on it), I would like to be able to tell Morpheus that the VM is not in the POC cloud anymore, but to assign it the SBOX cloud. I don’t need Morpheus to reassign it necessarily, I just want to “correct” it. But without standing up a new VM, because I can’t stand up another VM for that group as I have no idea what they did to get it up and configured.
A target VM is not required. You can use Change Cloud on a VM record and select a Cloud but not select a target VM.
