Move Subscription of a Web App 

In this part we will see how we can migrate a web app from one azure subscription to another.

In the previous part of this series we saw that the web apps are dependent on resource group & app service plan. When we have to change the subscription of a web app we need to deal with the resource group in which the web app resides.

I have a resource group called - dmwresgrpmove, in this resource group there's my web app and app service plan present. This group is currently present in "Visual Studio Ultimate with MSDN" subscription, I will be moving it to "Microsoft Partners Network" subscription.

Click on the "Resource groups" & go to the resource group you want to move -

Notice that there is a move button at the top ribbon & also a change button next to subscription name, Click on move -

Select "Move to another subscription" from the drop down list -

here you have to select the resources which you want to move, I have selected all the resources & them "Microsoft Partner Network" as subscription from the drop down list. I have also created a new resource group in Microsoft Partner Network subscription.

After this it runs a validation & then it moves the resource to the new subscription. Azure gives a notification for the migration -

If we now check our old resource group it should be empty :-

So, we can now say that our resources are migrated successfully to a new subscription.
