The AI set up a new server and moved mine over for me

He wanted the AI to compare pricing across the two data centers he uses. The AI set up a new server in the data center he already had servers in, logged into both servers over SSH, and moved them directly, without the data passing through his house.

How it works

He logs into both data center accounts
The AI looks at pricing across both
It sets up a new server in the data center he already uses
It logs into both servers over SSH
It migrates the servers directly between them

Why it’s worth knowing

The AI did the whole move itself, server to server, and the data never had to pass through his house.
