WebSphere Application Server in IBM Cloud has deployed upgraded infrastructure. Customers are strongly encouraged to move their applications to the new infrastructure as soon as possible. 

WebSphere Application Server in IBM Cloud has deployed upgraded infrastructure in Dallas, Sydney, London, and Frankfurt IBM public cloud regions. Existing virtual machines (VMs) will continue to run on the old infrastructure. All new VMs will be created on the new infrastructure. However, existing VMs cannot be migrated to the new infrastructure automatically.
