When planning a transition from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to Azure it's helpful to understand what the equivalent services are on each platform, and where services differ. You need to know the differences in terminology, how Azure handles the tasks you're familiar with in AWS, and where to go to get more detailed information.
Throughout this module, you've been considering the scenario of two companies, using AWS and Azure, who consider migrating their cloud systems after a merger. You can now see how AWS services, such as Elastic Kubernetes Service or DynamoDB SimpleDB. Map to Azure services, such as Azure Kubernetes Service or Cosmos DB.
