Differences vs Huawei
- Edge rule syntax differs.
- Security integrations differ.
Migration to Huawei
- Map topology, route propagation, policy order, and failover behavior. For AWS Amazon CloudFront, the direct Huawei equivalence layer is CDN; validate feature-by-feature parity for control plane, data plane, and operational behavior before cutover.
- Use a composed Huawei migration pattern where needed: CDN + WAF + CCM. Treat CDN as the core equivalent capability and use the additional services to cover integration, security, observability, and governance gaps.
- Pricing model difference: AWS usually bills data transfer out, HTTP/HTTPS requests, and optional edge features; 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.
