Microsoft Azure – Rename Resource Group

Pre-requisite:- Azure

In this article, we will show you the process of renaming resource groups in azure. Is renaming really possible in azure for resource groups? The answer to this is not exactly, however, alternatively, we can create a new resource group and move the existing resource from the old resource group to the new resource group. Let’s see the implementation process below!

Implementation:

Step 1: Log in to Azure Portal

Step 2:  Navigate to Resource Groups >> Create a New Resource Group with your New resource group name

Step 3:  Once you are done create a new resource group. Go to the old resource group to which you wish to change the name.

Step 4: Select all the existing resources in that old resource group

Step 5: Now click on move from section header menu >> select move to a new resource group

Step 6: Select your new resource group which you have created in step 2 >> After verifying the validation >> review your resource group and proceed to move.

Step 7:  Once you are done moving the resources >> Delete the existing Resource Group

This is how we can rename the old Resource Group to a new resource group.
