10.1 Deployment for Migration from AWS to Azure

For migration of workloads from Amazon Web Services EC2 Cloud to Microsoft Azure Cloud, you can use a cloud-based PlateSpin Migrate server deployment. The Azure Marketplace in the target Azure environment offers a PlateSpin Migrate Server image that is preconfigured to support its host Azure IaaS environment: Azure global or sovereign Azure China. Figure 10-1 shows the location of various components in your AWS, Azure, and data center migration environments and the communications between them.

The cloud-based PlateSpin Migrate server does not require site-to-site VPN connections between any of the participating locations: AWS, Azure, and your data center. You use Migrate Agent to register workloads with the cloud-based Migrate server using secure communications over the public Internet. Enable data transfer encryption to transfer data securely between the source workload in AWS and the PlateSpin Replication Environment in Azure over the public Internet. Internet access and public IP addresses are required.
