Any easier way to change regions of Machines in an app?

Questions / Help

Used to be in V1 apps where you could deploy an app and set the region of the VMs via command lines:
flyctl regions set REGION [region]
flyctl regions backup REGION [region]

But now in V2 apps, not sure if I’m doing it right but it seems to be more tedious. Is there a way to do this in V2 without having to deploy in primary region → clone the standby machine into different region → destroy standby machine in primary region?

does this doc help? Scale the Number of Machines · Fly Docs

Unfortunately, no. That doc for V2 apps does not have the similar straightforward steps as the one for V1 apps. So I guess the simplest way to change regions in V2 apps is to clone a standby machine into a different region and then destroy the old standby machine in primary region.

Usually I use:

fly scale count <number> --region <region>

e.g.

fly scale count 2 --region iad
