Move Kubernetes Service (AKS) to a different Tenant

Question

Hello,

My company is actually preparing the migration of an azure subscription to another Tenant because the actual tenant is a free subscription.
The client has a free azure platform for all of his dev services and another Tenant where all of his Office 365 services are managed for his employees
There is a huge list of services to migrate. The Azure Active directory contains a short list of 7-8 externals users.
All services in the subscriptions have several IAM for the external user and enterprises applications.
We checked the list of what we can migrate or not: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/transfer-subscription.
But we have 2 services that we aren't sure we can actually migrate and it's not supported by Microsoft:

• AKS & DevOps.

Is it possible to migrate the subscription without impacting the Azure Kubernetes services?

Thanks,

Charles

@Charles Delautre (Ghalan SPRL) Apologies for the delay in response and all the inconvenience caused because of the issue.

Moving your AKS cluster between tenants is currently unsupported. Moving your AKS cluster and its associated resources between Azure subscriptions isn't supported.

Same has been mentioned here in our official FAQ as well.

Also as mentioned here If you've moved your AKS cluster to a different subscription or the cluster's subscription to a new tenant, the cluster won't function because of missing cluster identity permissions. AKS doesn't support moving clusters across subscriptions or tenants because of this constraint.

So currently there is no way where migrating Subscription won't impact AKS.

Hope it helps!!!
