Move Ipam resources to another Resource group

[P-Stenbumling]

Hi!

Is it possible to move the reources to another resource group?
im aware om the managed identity needs to be re-created with same rbac.

would that work or would the solution break?
can i move the resources and the re-run the infra-part to "heal" the solution?

Hi @P-Stenbumling, unfortunately I don't believe there's any simple "Azure" way to move from one Resource Group to another. There are options to move resources between Resource Groups, but certain resource types aren't support and Managed Identities is one of those which are leveraged in the Azure IPAM solution.

One thing I could think of is deploying a new Azure IPAM instance and then restoring the Cosmos DB database from the original account to the new one. All of the configuration is kept in Cosmos DB so move the data from one to another should be sufficient (though I haven't tested this personally).

TL:DR - This is more of an Azure restriction around resource movement then an Azure IPAM limitation per-se, but what you really need to move is the Cosmos DB data as that is where all of the configuration items are kept.
