Hello.
I am trying to move a linux (ubuntu) vm from one subscription to an another. The two subscriptions are not in one tenant. If i go to the source resource group and choose move, at the target section I can see only my subscription.
I following this move-vm guide. What am I missing?

Thanks

    Azure resource mover can only be used to move resources across resource groups, subscriptions and regions. You will not be able to move resources across tenants.

    This is a much bigger and more complex operation where you would have to move all resources from one tenant to another.

    According to this post and the accepted anwer my goal can be reached. how-to-migrate-azure-vm-from-one-tenant-to-another.html Or am I missunderstanding something?

    Tenant contain Identities but not resources (like VMs, Storage Accounts, Key Vaults etc.). Resources are always created under subscription(s). A subscription can be associated to one tenant at a given point in time. So, when you say "Move VM from one tenant to another tenant", you actually move the VM from a subscription associated with one tenant to another subscription associated with the other tenant.
