Single service comparison

AWS Marketplace is tightly coupled with the AWS account model: subscriptions provision entitlements through SaaS Metering, AMI, or container Metering APIs, and consumption lands on the consolidated AWS bill. KooGallery (Huawei Cloud Marketplace) is Huawei Cloud's marketplace for SaaS, software, hardware, and professional services managed via Partner Center and the ISV seller console plus a separate buyer center. Procurement and settlement flows differ, and a metering/entitlement API set matching AWS Marketplace's seller APIs is not documented as equivalent.

AWS Marketplace listings are global and inherit IAM, Organizations, and Cost Explorer for governance and cost allocation across regions, while sellers run IaaS in their own AWS accounts. KooGallery's storefront and seller consoles are operated by Huawei Cloud with product terms and reseller programs varying by cloud site (China vs international), so regional availability, settlement currencies, and partner programs differ. Identity and billing are governed by Huawei Cloud accounts rather than AWS Organizations, and operational support depends on the seller's hosting, which may not run on Huawei Cloud.

Treat Amazon Marketplace migration as a seller-side re-publishing effort, not a workload migration. Inventory existing listings, product types (SaaS, AMI, container), pricing dimensions, and entitlement/metering integrations, then map each to KooGallery categories such as SaaS applications, image-based software, or professional services. Confirm KooGallery supports the offer type and deployment target on Huawei Cloud, and decide whether underlying IaaS must also be re-hosted to Huawei Cloud or may remain elsewhere.

Re-create listings in the KooGallery seller center with equivalent SKUs, pricing tiers, and service-level terms. Replace AWS Marketplace Metering and Entitlement API usage with KooGallery seller settlement and order processing in Partner Center; there is no 1:1 API translation, so metering logic must be reworked. IAM and buyer access are governed by Huawei Cloud identity, so re-define access policies and subscription bindings consistent with Huawei accounts.

Validate end-to-end: buyer subscription, provisioning, usage reporting, and settlement through the KooGallery buyer center. Run a pilot with a test account to confirm order flow, billing reconciliation, and the invoice split between product license and infrastructure. Coordinate cutover timing with buyers on existing Amazon Marketplace subscriptions to avoid double billing, and switch at contract renewal.

Recompute commercial economics: AWS Marketplace typically takes a referral percentage on seller-controlled license or usage meters plus separate infrastructure charges, while KooGallery applies its own settlement and platform fees with Huawei Cloud billing the buyer. Seller programs, payout currencies, tax handling, and regional availability differ between China and international sites. Do not assume parity for private offers, data products, or partner reselling—validate each capability before cutover.
