Differences vs Huawei
Partner models and virtual interface options differ.
Migration to Huawei
Map topology, route propagation, policy order, and failover behavior. For AWS AWS Direct Connect, the direct Huawei equivalence layer is DC; validate feature-by-feature parity for control plane, data plane, and operational behavior before cutover.
Use a composed Huawei migration pattern where needed: DC + ER + VPC. Treat DC as the core equivalent capability and use the additional services to cover integration, security, observability, and governance gaps.
Pricing model difference: AWS usually bills resource-hours plus processed traffic, request volume, and data transfer; Huawei usually bills EIP/ELB/NAT/ER/DC resource-hours, bandwidth plans, and processed traffic. Recalculate TCO with peak load, request volume, retention period, and cross-region/interconnect traffic before production migration.
