Azure Migrate keep test migrations delete recovery services vault - azure

The issue is we migrated from physical servers to Azure using Azure migrate and we started using these test VM's that we got from test migrations but never fully migrated them.
We did the test migration in a different new Subscription and resource group. We would like to keep and continue using these test migration VM's as is. But we are trying to get rid of the old Recovery Services Vault that has unnecessary Azure Site Recovery costs associated with it in the old subscription.
If we were to Cancel and delete the resources within this older subscription that has replicated items. Would the deletion of the Recovery Services vault from the old subscription have any affect on the test migration VM's that currently reside in the other new subscription and resource group?

Generally speaking, it is always advised to do verification by testing out your specific scenario on a different setup.
From what you wrote I understand that there is a new recovery service vault in place in the new subscription, so it should be safe to delete the resources in the old subscription (still, the above is good advice).
Take note that you can't delete a recovery service vault resource straight away. First, the backups are only "soft deleted". This is so that you can undo the deletion if it caused you any harm.

how to export/move my Azure Machine Learning Workspace to different subscription?

I am using azure machine learning services. I have created an experiment and deployed as a webservice on Azure Machine Learning Workspace.
My problem Is my subscription has expired and now I want to export/move my Azure Machine Learning Workspace to different subscription so I can reuse its all content(model, experiment etc.) without losing.
How can I save my all important work and export or move Azure Machine Learning Workspace with all working functionalities in different subscription?
Thank you

The following document demonstrates how to migrate Azure resources across subscriptions. You should be able to migrate your workspace as indicated here.
As highlighted in the document above, if the tenant IDs for the source and destination subscriptions aren't the same, use the following methods to reconcile the tenant IDs:
Transfer ownership of an Azure subscription to another account
How to associate or add an Azure subscription to Azure Active Directory
The source and destination subscriptions must be active. If you have trouble enabling an account that has been disabled, create an Azure support request. Select Subscription Management for the issue type.
This document says that moving an AML workspace is currently not supported:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning/how-to-manage-workspace
In this doc referenced in a previous answer, .MachineLearning refers to the classic ML studio. You should be looking for .MachineLearningServices which refers to the new AML studio which clearly states that moving between resource groups or subscriptions is not supported.
I'm looking to do this myself but I haven't found a complete solution.

Azure Migration of Resources To New Account Before Deletion of User Account

I had one doubt regarding resource management via Azure Portal.
Although, I am aware that migration to another subscription and tenant is possible along with movement of resources between resource groups but I am not sure if the access to resources will still remain available after I add someone via access control but the account giving access itself gets deleted or removed.
I wanted to know if it was possible to migrate the resources with full permissions to another user account if some account is removed from Azure which was used to create the resources in first place.
The account used to create a resource is no longer relevant after the resource is created. Other than the activity log entry, Azure doesn't track who created a resource, and if that original user account is deleted it will have no effect on the resource or any other user's access to it.

Is it possible to move existing VSTS resources to a new Azure subscription without issue?

We have a situation where we are in development and experiencing a lot of delay and resistance from the Azure admin which is creating costly delays and impacting deadlines.
I would like to create our own Azure subscription to allow us to fully admin our environment and pipelines as we see fit, without needing to go through the aforementioned resource. The admin can link our Dev subscription to their corporate AD later.
We already have some projects in VSTS, build scripts, began some CD development.
Obviously on a new subscription we would just recreate the pipelines and resources. However, since it would be a new AD, how would this impact our ability to still view content and resources in VSTS?
Link the new AD to the projects?
You can easily associate a VSTS instance with a different Azure subscription, no need to recreate anything. This can be done via the Azure Portal. It can still be connected to the same Azure AD.

Migrating blobs from Classic subscription to v6 subscription

I wantd to know whether there is a way to migrate the storage blobs from Classic subscription to V6 subscription on Azure as we can do for the VMs.
Thank you.
Do you mean you want to move classic azure storage to a new subscription as an ARM resource? At currently, Azure storage services is supported to move to a new resources or a new subscription. We could find this information at this article. In that article, we could find that there will be some limitations for moving classic deployment to a new subscription. Here is a snippet of that article:
All classic resources in the subscription must be moved in the same
operation.
The target subscription must not contain any other classic
resources.
The move can only be requested through a separate REST API for
classic moves. The standard Resource Manager move commands do not work when moving classic resources to a new subscription.
It also provide detailed steps about how to move Classic Compute to a new subscription. If you want to move classic storage. Please try to use "ClassicStorage" instead of "ClassicCompute"
We could find the provider in Azure resource portal. for example. I want to move "jaml" to a new subscription. I search "jaml" in Azure resource portal. then I will find below information:

How to migrate an Azure 'Backup vault classis" to 'Recovery Services vault'?

I've setup an Azure Backup vault some time ago and made backups of my systems to it. The backup vault is of type 'Backup vault (classic)'
Now there is a new kind of Azure Backup vault that enables alert among other options. I need to make use of that options.
How can I migrate the classic vault (which contains a lot of historical information) to the new vault type (Recovery Services Vault)?
I cannot find any option in the portal, nor can I find a Powershell script to execute the migration.
Unfournately, it's not possible to do that.
Can I migrate a Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault?
Unfortunately no, at this time you can't migrate the contents of a
Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault. We are working on adding
this functionality, but it is not currently available.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-backup-faq
It's better wait for a while.
Now you can upgrade a Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault. The upgrade process doesn't impact any running backup jobs, and no backup data is lost. The primary reasons to upgrade a Backup vault to a Recovery Services vault:
•All features of a Backup vault are retained in a Recovery Services vault.
•Recovery Services vaults have more features than Backup vaults, including:
better security, integrated monitoring, faster restores and item-level restores.
•Manage backup items from an improved, simplified portal.
•New features only apply to Recovery Services vaults.
