Azure Merge Multiple Subscriptions

Question

If I use multiple subscriptions to limit access and provisioning by users and later decide I don't need to or find a better method to manage this in Azure can I merge the subscriptions later on without losing all of the Azure resources or copying the VM's over?

Answer 1

@acruns, to answer your follow-up question "what is a better way to segregate multiple AZ environments like dev/test/prod under a single account?"... my suggestions would be to use Deployment Slots.

Note that all deployment slots for a specific website do share the same Web Hosting Plan, while existing in the same VM instance that hosts the Prod slot.
