Migrate networking from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to Azure

The articles listed on this page outline scenarios for how to migrate networking services from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to Azure networking services.

Networking services are foundational components of most enterprise workloads. The migration process moves these services while ensuring that they retain the same capabilities. Examples of networking services include virtual networks, load balancers, and firewalls that connect and protect critical data for various purposes. Whether it's to support custom applications, AI/ML training processes, business intelligence operations, or commercial off-the-shelf solutions, your networking infrastructure requires careful migration planning.

Component comparison

Start the migration process by comparing the AWS networking service that's used in the workload with the closest Azure counterpart. The goal is to identify the most suitable Azure services for your workload. For more information, see Comparing AWS and Azure networking services.

Note

This comparison isn't an exact representation of the functionality that these services provide in your workload.
