The technologies used by Azure to link on-premises data centers to the cloud are tested and true. Azure File Storage, for example, is suitable for lift and shift migrations since it employs the SMB protocol.
Azure is regarded as easier to use than AWS, particularly for existing Microsoft users, because it offers a plethora of services via a PaaS model, making adoption and migration easier. Despite the fact that AWS provides a plethora of options and over 100 cloud services, mastering the environment and becoming productive can take some time.

To prepare for the transition of your apps to Azure, you must construct infrastructure components on Azure. You’ll begin by making a site recovery vault, which will be the starting point for all of your ASR processes. Follow the Quick Start Wizard’s steps to deploy two IaaS VMs in Azure, the configuration server and the master target server. Follow the processes for configuring protection between on-premises physical servers and Azure to deploy these components on Azure.
To run the process server, you’ll need to launch an EC2 instance. When deploying the process server, keep the process server sizing guidelines in mind. The process server needs access to the AWS VMs that run your application, so it’s better if it’s in the same subnet as the VMs you’re migrating. To communicate with the process server, the VMs you’re migrating must have security group settings that allow inbound connections on TCP and UDP ports 135-139, 445, and 1024-65535. Once you’ve completed this step and registered your process server with the settings server, you’re ready to move on to the next.
You can now begin exploring your AWS virtual computers. First, create a protection group, and then use the “add physical machine” technique to identify all of the EC2 instances you want to migrate to Azure. You can find them by using the EC2 instance’s private IP address, and you can also give them a nice name that you can remember later. After this step is completed, all of the VMs you identified in the previous step will begin to replicate on Azure. This could be a lengthy procedure depending on the number of virtual machines, network capacity, and process server. Once this initial replication is complete, you are ready to migrate.
This is where you perform a one-click failover and move your application to Azure. Because these resources are no longer necessary, make sure to terminate your EC2 instances and disable ASR protection.
