The Ultimate Guide to Cloud Migration: Moving from GCP to AWS

Migrating from Azure to AWS

Many enterprises migrate from Azure to AWS for its superior global infrastructure, pricing models, and AI/ML capabilities.

Key Challenges & Solutions:

Identity & Access Management: Azure AD and AWS IAM have different identity management approaches. Using AWS IAM Identity Center (SSO) can bridge authentication gaps.
Storage Compatibility: Azure Blob Storage maps to Amazon S3, and Azure SQL Database maps to Amazon RDS. AWS Schema Conversion Tool simplifies database transitions.
Application Modernization: AWS Elastic Beanstalk and AWS Lambda facilitate modernization by enabling serverless and containerized deployments.

Best Practices:
✔ Implement a hybrid approach before a full cutover.

✔ Use AWS Database Migration Service to minimize downtime.

✔ Optimize workloads post-migration with AWS Compute Optimizer.
