Seamless Transition: Transitioning from Azure to AWS with CloudEndure
Transition Seamlessly to AWS:
Streamline Your Migration from Azure with CloudEndure. Discover how CloudEndure Migration facilitates the seamless transfer of infrastructure from on-premises data centers or alternate cloud providers to AWS. Simplifying, accelerating, and cost-reducing, CloudEndure Migration offers an automated, lift-and-shift approach, ensuring a smooth transition to the AWS Cloud.
CloudEndure Architecture:
CloudEndure Migration streamlines the process of migrating applications from diverse sources, including physical, virtual, and cloud-based infrastructure, guaranteeing seamless operation within AWS without compatibility hurdles. Whether originating from an on-premises data center, an AWS Region, or another cloud provider, CloudEndure Migration ensures a smooth transition to the AWS environment.
Azure VM’s Application Server:
Database Server:
Step 1: Setting up the CloudEndure environment.
- Access the CloudEndure console and initiate a new migration project. Input the desired Project Name, designate the Project Type as Migration, and proceed by selecting Create Project.
2. To set up the newly created project, navigate to the Setup & Info. Choose AWS credentials and enter IAM user credentials created as part of the prerequisites.
3. Proceed to the Replication Settings and do the following:
a. Choose Migration Source as Other Infrastructure.
b. Choose Migration Target as the AWS Region.
c. Choose a specific instance type for your replication server and the convertor server. (t3.medium).
Step 2: Installing CloudEndure agents on Azure virtual machines.
Step 3: Configuring the CloudEndure Migration Blueprints.
Step 4: Test and initiate test to the Amazon EC2 in the specified Region (MUMBAI).
Before initiating test/cutover, verify that the instances are in Continuous Data Replication state and there is no LAG as shown in the following screenshot.
NOTE: CloudEndure also launches a Machine Convertor instance to modify the target machine to boot and run on AWS. Once the job is completed, you can view both the instances under the EC2 console. Open the MACHINE ACTIONS menu, and select Remove X Machine from This Console.
Step 5: Replicating Operating System and SAP Version.
a. Source S4 Application server
Application status:
b. Source S4 DB Server.
Database Status:
c. SAP system current data:
d. Migrated Target system details:
App details:
Database target details:
S4 Quality system from AZURE to AWS has been successfully migrated without any data loss.
Cleaning Up:
If you followed along with this blog post and want to avoid incurring future charges, please complete the following steps to clean up the resources used in the solution:
1. Choose Machine Actions.
2. Choose Remove Machines from the console.
3. When all of the agents are uninstalled, delete the VPC. This deletes all AWS resources that you created for replication.
Conclusion:
This blog covered how CloudEndure Migration can be used to migrate virtual machines from other cloud providers to AWS. We demonstrated setting up the CloudEndure Migration environment, installing CloudEndure agents on virtual machines, and configuring CloudEndure Migration blueprints to migrate virtual machines from Azure to AWS.
