A. B.B
You would need to Redeploy the VM.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/redeploy-to-new-nodeNo, the provided solution does not meet the goal of moving VM1 to a different host immediately.
Moving a virtual machine to a different subscription would not address the requirement to move the VM to a different host. Additionally, moving a virtual machine to a different subscription requires more than just changing the host.
To move a virtual machine to a different host immediately, you can perform a maintenance redeployment by following these steps:
- Navigate to the virtual machine in the Azure portal.
- Stop the virtual machine.
- From the virtual machine's "Overview" blade, select "Redeploy" from the "Operations" menu.
- Wait for the virtual machine to be redeployed to a different host.
- Start the virtual machine.
Note that maintenance redeployment is a standard feature in Azure and does not require any additional configuration or deployment.
