We have a Container Registry in Azure
Resource ID: /subscriptions/b17533a7-6c17-4384-9860-92f87f5debde/resourceGroups/oneserviceprod/providers/Microsoft.ContainerRegistry/registries/oneserviceprod
And we need to move it to another subscription "News OneService SF Test (3c828ae8-3cb3-4212-93c9-0d5991a56582)", Resource Group: oneserviceprod.
we need to know what's the best approach to move it and the expected time to complete the transfer.
Also, for how long the resource will be down?

    Hi Ahmed Sameh,
    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

    Basically, you will need to adapt the steps from this documentation to move the ACR in a different subscription.

    • To create a new exact replica registry please use the steps here.
    • To import the container images from the original registry please follow the steps mentioned here.

    Please keep in mind that the name of the registries cannot be the same.
    Expect a total of a few hours for the entire process, but this may vary significantly based on the number and size of images. During the transfer process, you will have some downtime while you are pulling and pushing images. Applications that rely on the ACR will not be able to access images during the push phase unless they are also running against the new ACR.
    To understand the possible downtimes involved, see Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure: Select a relocation method.
