Differences vs Huawei

Allocation and association quota model differ.

Idle address charging behavior differs.

Migration to Huawei

Map topology, route propagation, policy order, and failover behavior. For AWS Elastic IP Address, the direct Huawei equivalence layer is EIP; validate feature-by-feature parity for control plane, data plane, and operational behavior before cutover.

Use a composed Huawei migration pattern where needed: EIP + NAT + ELB. Treat EIP as the core equivalent capability and use the additional services to cover integration, security, observability, and governance gaps.

Pricing model difference: AWS usually bills allocated/attached address hours and associated 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.
