Migrate a Database Cluster to a New Region

To migrate a database cluster to a new region, send a PUT request to /v2/databases/$DATABASE_ID/migrate. The body of the request must specify a region attribute.

A successful request will receive a 202 Accepted status code with no body in response. Querying the database cluster will show that its status attribute will now be set to migrating. This will transition back to online when the migration has completed.
