I hope this message finds you well. I am currently facing a scenario where I need to migrate several azure resources, including App Services and databases, from one subscription in our current Azure tenant to another subscription in a different tenant. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the best approach to achieve this migration while minimizing any potential impact on our services.

    Hello JanakKhadka,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

    Problem

    I understand that you would like to migrate several Azure resources, including App Services and databases, from one subscription in your current Azure tenant to another subscription in a different tenant. This migration must be executed with minimal impact on your services.

    Scenario

    This is your unique business story. You're in charge of Azure resources in one Azure account and want to move them to another account in a different Azure setup. These resources, like App Services and databases, are super important for your work. Making sure everything moves smoothly without messing up your services is really important. You're looking for advice on how to do this transfer between different Azure setups and what steps to take to make sure it goes well.

    Solution

    This prescribed solution was based on the scenario given and your questions, while focusing on the problem statement.

    Your first question:

    What is the recommended process for transferring these resources across tenants?

    Finally

    Your second question:

    Are there any specific steps or precautions we should take to ensure a smooth migration?

    Yes, there at least three steps to put into consideration when you would like to perform this kind of migration:

    @JanakKhadka Thanks for posting your question on Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Please go through this document here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/move-resource-group-and-subscription#checklist-before-moving-resources to move resources/subscription to a different tenant.

    Please note that only certain tenant type movement are allowed. Pre-validate to ensure the current plans meets those pre-requisites.
