Why teams migrate from Azure to AWS
Good fit when
- +Organizations moving off Microsoft-centric infrastructure to AWS for service breadth or ecosystem reasons.
- +Teams needing AWS-specific services (SageMaker, Kinesis, Step Functions) for data/ML workloads.
- +Companies consolidating multi-cloud onto AWS as primary.
Strengths
- Broader service catalog and larger global region footprint.
- More mature serverless ecosystem (Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge).
- Larger partner/integration ecosystem and community resources.
Tradeoffs
- Losing Entra ID integration requires rebuilding identity with AWS IAM and SSO.
- Azure-specific services (Logic Apps, Power Platform) have no direct AWS equivalent.
- Teams familiar with Azure tooling need retraining on AWS Console, CLI, and CDK.
Migration notes
- Rebuild identity: Entra ID to AWS IAM Identity Center (SSO) and IAM roles.
- Migrate data: Blob Storage to S3, Azure Database to RDS, Cosmos DB to DynamoDB.
- Translate networking: VNets to VPCs, NSGs to security groups, Application Gateway to ALB/NLB.
- Plan compute migration: Azure VMs to EC2, Container Apps/AKS to ECS/EKS, Azure Functions to Lambda.
- Migrate monitoring: Azure Monitor to CloudWatch, Application Insights to X-Ray.
