move vm across subscription

Question

We have to move the vms across subscriptions. Currently we are having only one vnet. All our production VMs and non production VMs are associated with that vnet. So when tries to move some VMs it will take NSG, NIC, Public ip and VMs associated with that Vnet. So it will affect our production VMs. How we can move the VMs alone across subscriptions.

Answer 1

Hi @nimi
If you use the same Azure Active Directory tenant. I recommend using Azure Site recovery; you can use ASR to move your VMs by creating a new vnet in the target subscription

Azure site recovery you can use the first 30 days free of charge
