Azure-docs: Remediation for moving clusters across subscriptions?

[Brucius]

[Enter feedback here]
Hello, for the FAQ listed here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/faq#can-i-movemigrate-my-cluster-between-subscriptions.

What will be the remediation process if I were to move the worker nodes to a new subscription? Should I be creating a k8s cluster in target subscription and re-parent the orphaned worker nodes?

@Brucius Thanks for posting your query.

For migrating to new subscription, you can consider creating a new cluster in new subscription and you can take a backup of current cluster and deploy them on new cluster. In case if you have many applications with persistent storage then you can use open source tool Velero and take backup of a cluster.

No need to re-parent the worker nodes, instead create new worker nodes in new subscription and migrate only the apps.
Considering a case where you have less apps, then once the cluster is created in new subscription, then if you have CI/CD point it to the new cluster or you can also using YAML deployment in new cluster.
