Replicating your AWS application to Azure: key resources for software development companies

Azure offers a broad global footprint, strong security and compliance foundations, flexible cost options, and the ability to deploy your solution directly into a customer’s subscription for tighter integration with their environment. While Microsoft Marketplace expands your reach instantly by connecting your solution to millions of customers across Microsoft’s global ecosystem. It also provides deeper integration with Azure services and a unified experience that makes it easier for organizations to discover, purchase, and deploy your app.  

You can scale with channel-led sales by extending your reach through an ecosystem of 500K+ partners through a variety of sales models. With ISV Success, you can also accelerate replication with cloud credits, AI services, and hands on technical guidance. Understanding how AWS and Azure services align — across networking, storage, identity, regions, and marketplace requirements — helps ensure a smooth replication process.
