Differences vs Huawei

SKU/tier behavior and routing preference options differ.

Attachment scope across resources differs.

Migration to Huawei

Map topology, route propagation, policy order, and failover behavior. For Azure Azure Public 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: Azure usually bills public IP SKU/availability usage and 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.
