Is it possible to move a website to a different "Web Hosting Plan"

Question

I've got several websites in azure, and they are now grouped into "Web Hosting Plans". I have two plans total. What I'd like to do is move the sites from one plan into the other. Is there a way to do this without removing the sites and recreating them?

Answer 1

Update

The required steps are as follows (All from powershell)

1: Login

Add-AzureAccount 

2: Switch to azure resource mode

Switch-AzureMode AzureResourceManager 

3: Create dictionary to represent the new farm

$whp=@{"serverfarm" = "<newfarm>";}

4: Switch Farm

Set-AzureResource -name <sitename> -ResourceGroupName <groupname> -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites -apiversion 2014-04-01 -PropertyObject $whp

You can get a list of resources by executing Get-AzureResourceGroup once you are in resource mode
