Migrate security services from Amazon Web Services (AWS)

This article describes scenarios that you can use to migrate Amazon Web Services (AWS) security services to Microsoft Azure. These cloud services provide foundational security elements necessary for monitoring other services and applications built in the cloud. The migration process involves transitioning services while focusing on maintaining or enhancing functionality.

These scenarios might cover tasks like migrating your security and information and event management (SIEM) solution to Azure.

Component comparison

Start the migration process by comparing the AWS security and identity services 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 identity management solutions.

Note

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

Migration scenarios

Use the following migration guides as examples to help structure your migration strategy.
