Wow, moving an IP address between two #Azure subscriptions takes over an hour (and counting) and it has to be disconnected from a VM while doing so. How on Earth do you design infrastructure where an operation that should be updating one table in a database takes so long? Even manual telephone exchanges could do the equivalent operation faster.

Wow, and #Azure support is terrible. It sends you to Copilot. Copilot says: 'If the resource group remains in the "MovingResources" state and you cannot identify any issues, it may be necessary to contact Azure Support. They can investigate backend issues and provide assistance in resolving the problem.'

Contacting support requires selecting from a drop-down list of common problems which does not include this problem. And there is no path I have yet found via their UI that actually seems to result in raising a support request.

Imagine trying to use this for important things!

Oh, it gets better. Apparently I can't raise a support request even though their infrastructure is broken unless I add a support plan. And I can't add a support plan to this class of subscription.

What a clown show.
