Copy Azure Infrastructure to another account

I have the following issue, is there any way I can copy MS Azure Infrastructure from one account to another account or subscription? By Infrastructure I mean VMs, Storage, users, LB, CDN, Databases, etc.

Same as the original account without any changes, is there any way to make it easy? I don't want to create everything manually which will take time and effort it's huge environment. Any suggestion to do this?

The best bet is to use Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates). ARM templates are a JSON scripting of your Azure resources. You can go to your Azure Resource Group(s) in the Azure Portal and choose "Export Templates" under settings.

In my experience, the generated templates are a bit ugly and require some cleanup. Also, some references to dependent services may be hardcoded, and those are a bit of a pain to change. Your mileage may vary if you don't have any or many dependencies.
