Migrating from PAYG to CSP
- SHI will help you set up your new CSP subscription within your existing Azure Active Directory tenant
- If you prefer separate tenants, we can discuss options as well
- The user account completing the transfer must have Azure RBAC owner access on both subscriptions
- All resources must be based on the Azure Resource Manager model and cannot be the older Azure classic deployment model; any older resources must be migrated to Azure Resource Manager prior to migration
Moving from a PAYG to a CSP subscription does not currently support a billing transfer from Microsoft, but instead requires a Resource Move to the new subscription. This process can be nuanced per service and can result in service interruption. SHI provides a CSP migration credit to assist customers with this process.
To complete the Resource Move yourself, see the following instructions:
- Review your resource list to determine if all of your resources support the move operation
- Review service specific limitations when moving resources
- Register any required resource providers in the destination subscription
- Verify your service quotas in the destination subscription meet your requirements
- Combine dependent resources into the same resource group
- Execute the resource move
For customers that require additional assistance during this migration process, SHI provides a CSP Migration credit. This credit enables our cloud engineers to work directly with you to validate your environment prior to the resource move and assist you with up to $5,000 of migration assistance.
Activities supported under this CSP Migration credit include:
- Assessment of migration readiness
- Configuration of the source or destination subscriptions to support migration readiness
- Execution of resource move
- Troubleshooting related to resource move
- Additionally, for complex environments, SHI can apply this $5,000 credit towards a custom Azure Landing Zone or custom Azure Migration project to meet your specific requirements
Contact your SHI Account Executive or SHI Microsoft Customer Success Manager for additional information.
