Just curious if there's a standard method to take one VM instance and migrate it to a completely different Google Cloud account. If not, I guess I could download all the site files and server configuration files (virtual hosts, apache config, php.ini, etc) but am hoping there's a more streamlined approach.
Just to be clear I have [email protected] and [email protected], both completely separate accounts each with VMs on their respective Google Cloud accounts. I want to move a VM instance from [email protected] to [email protected]
I'm open to any method that will get the job done. I like Google's snapshot feature but I have doubts I'll be able to move the specific snapshot over. I'm thinking maybe it'll be possible by creating an image but even that I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks!!

You can move a virtual machine to another compute resource and move its disks or virtual machine folder to another datastore. With vMotion, you can migrate a virtual machine and its disks and files while the virtual machine is powered on.
Migrate to a different hostLog in to VMware vSphere client console. Right-click the virtual machine and select Migrate. Go to Migrate Virtual Machine. Select the Change host as the Migration Type and click Next.
Create a custom image, then share it, then import that image into the target project.
