Moving on-premises systems to the cloud allows them to benefit from [the advantages](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/aws-overview/six-advantages-of-cloud-computing.html) offered by cloud computing.
12+
13+
NServiceBus supports queuing technologies provided by cloud providers like AWS and Azure, so any on-premise NServiceBus endpoints can be migrated to the cloud. The following migration guides provide more details on specific cloud providers:
14+
15+
- [Migrating from on-premises to Microsoft Azure](/modernization/migrate-to-the-cloud/on-premises-to-azure.md)
16+
- [Migrating from on-premises to AWS](/modernization/migrate-to-the-cloud/on-premises-to-aws.md)
17+
18+
## Migrating
19+
20+
By the time an on-premises system is considered for migration to the cloud, it has likely grown large enough that migrating everything at once would be a risky and intensive effort.
21+
22+
To mitigate this, migrating parts of the system to the cloud can be done by identifying, extracting, and moving one piece at a time. New services may also be built during the migration process.
23+
24+
The resulting [hybrid system](/architecture/hybrid-systems.md) requires that on-premises and cloud systems be able to communicate, but allows for a safer and more deliberate migration.
25+
26+
### Hybrid system communication
27+
28+
Queueing technologies do not inherently communicate with each other. As on-premises systems begin moving to the cloud or new services are added, communication from on-premises to cloud technologies becomes essential.
29+
30+
The [NServiceBus Messaging Bridge](/nservicebus/bridge) acts as a connector, allowing on-premises endpoints to exchange messages seamlessly and reliably with those in the cloud.

## Overview
16+
17+
[AWS Application Migration Service](https://aws.amazon.com/application-migration-service/when-to-choose-aws-mgn/) is an option for getting on-premises systems into the cloud quickly.
18+
19+
Amazon Simple Queue Service ([Amazon SQS](https://aws.amazon.com/sqs/)) is a fully managed cloud-based queueing service supported by the [NServiceBus Amazon SQS Transport](/transports/sqs).
20+
21+
[Amazon MQ](https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-mq/) supports [RabbitMQ brokers](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazon-mq/latest/developer-guide/working-with-rabbitmq.html) which can be used with the [NServiceBus RabbitMQ transport](/transports/rabbitmq/).
22+
23+
The [NServiceBus Messaging Bridge](/nservicebus/bridge) acts as a connector, enabling seamless and reliable message exchange between on-premises endpoints and those using AWS-native transports. This allows you to migrate endpoints to AWS gradually, without disrupting existing operations.

> [!NOTE]
53+
> While SQL transports are supported, it is not recommended to migrate *to* them, as dedicated queueing technologies are more efficient.

## Overview
17+
18+
[Azure Migrate](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/azure-migrate) is an option for getting on-premises systems into the cloud quickly.
19+
20+
It provides a centralized hub to assess and migrate on-premises systems to the Azure cloud. It supports a range of migration scenarios, including virtual machines, databases, and applications.
21+
22+
Azure Service Bus and Azure Storage Queues are fully managed messaging services supported by NServiceBus. For systems using SQL Server transport, Azure SQL Database or SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines offer cloud-hosted alternatives that maintain compatibility with NServiceBus transports.
23+
24+
The [NServiceBus Messaging Bridge](/nservicebus/bridge) acts as a connector between on-premises endpoints and those using Azure-native transports. This enables a phased migration approach minimizes risk by allowing incremental migration, service-by-service, while ensuring the system remains fully functional throughout the transition.
