I want to transfer my Droplet to another region. For that I need a snapshot. But after I power down my server and take a snapshot, it’s automatically powered on again. I want it to stay powered off after the snapshot so that I can create a new Droplet in another region and start that Droplet instead. How do I do that? I can’t find any setting to disable this automatic power on behavior.
