Introduction
In this article, we are going to learn how to move Azure resources between an existing Azure subscription to a new Azure subscription. Microsoft provides the capability to move Azure resources from one subscription to another, but not all the services can be moved. So before moving the Azure resources it's best to take a look at the following
Checklist before moving resources.
Step 1
In the Azure Portal, Select the Resource group you want to move to a new subscription. In this demo, we select a resource group named “TESLSite” which is under “Microsoft Azure” subscription.
Step 2
Create a new resource group name like “EventSite” which is under“Pay-As-You-Go” subscription
Step 3
In the existing resource group Click “Move” and then select “Move to another subscription”
Step 4
In the Move Resources select all the resources that you want to move to the new subscription, select the new subscription in this demo our subscription is “Pay-As-You-Go”, select the resource group that you want to move the resources in this demo our resource group is “EventSite”, click the check box and then click “Ok”
Step 5
In the Notification we can verify that the moving resources are running.
Step 6
Now we can verify that the moving resources have completed successfully.
Step 7
Now we can go to the new resource group we have created and verify all the resources are moved and that the resources still function as intended.
Step 8
Finally we can verify our old resource group and delete the original resource group on the source subscription as it’s now empty. If we want to remove this resource group click “Delete resource group”
