Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Virtual Networks: Move-AzureResource

Quick "Heads Up" to users of Azure.

Azure released their new Azure Resource Manager (ARM) automation engine.


The problem is, some solutions are offered as ARM-only.  If your using the "Classic" Virtual Network you will have to deploy a vNet using ARM to leverage the product.

Long term,  you would want to create a connection between your "Classic" and newly created ARM vNet and use the Move-AzureResource cmdlet to migrate all your resources over.  Then, decommission your "Classic" vNet.
