[sreedhar mella]

Hi Team,

It is easy in moving Azure resources to different resource group or different subscription.Similarly can we havce copy feature available for Azure resource from one subscription to another subscription.

What is the best practices/best methods to be followed when you want your azure resource to be deployed from one environment to another like from dev to prod.

Thanks,

Hello Sreedhar,

Most resources can be moved to another Resource group or Subscription, for example by using the Azure Portal. Don't know if you can really copy resources. But using ARM templates can help you to quickly deploy similar environments.

If you use, for example an App Service Plan (Standard or higher) with deployment slots you can create your DTAP environment.
