# Migrate storage from Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Many workloads contain file storage, such as blob storage, data lakes, virtual machine images, or file shares. These file stores host the files used by your custom applications, AI/ML context/training processes, business intelligence operations, or hold data for commercial off the shelf (COTS) solutions. Microsoft Azure has guidance to help you migrate a workload that involve the componets that hold and secure your files.

The articles listed on this page outline scenarios for migrating storage services from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to Azure storage services. Storage services are foundational components of most enterprise workloads and the migration process involves transitioning, with a focus on maintaining feature parity. Examples of storage services include file storage, blob storage, data lakes, virtual machine images, and file shares that store critical data for various purposes. Whether supporting custom applications, AI/ML training processes, business intelligence operations, or commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions, your storage infrastructure requires careful migration planning.

If you haven't yet selected your application platform in Azure, review the [Azure for AWS professionals guide](/azure/architecture/aws-professional/), which has a service mapping available for storage. This is a list that maps similar services between the two cloud providers.

Start the process by comparing the AWS storage service used in the workload with the closest Azure counterpart. The goal is to identify the most suitable Azure services for your workload.
