Differences vs Huawei

  • Identity and network plugin defaults differ.
  • Managed features differ by tier.

Migration to Huawei

  • Map compute shape/runtime, OS-image behavior, scaling policy, and placement/isolation semantics. For Azure Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), the direct Huawei equivalence layer is CCE + CCI; validate feature-by-feature parity for control plane, data plane, and operational behavior before cutover.
  • Use a composed Huawei migration pattern where needed: CCE + CCI + SWR + ELB. Treat CCE + CCI as the core equivalent capability and use the additional services to cover integration, security, observability, and governance gaps.
  • Pricing model difference: Azure usually bills cluster management tier plus node compute/storage/network usage; Huawei usually bills ECS/BMS/CCE/CCI runtime with EVS, bandwidth/traffic, and optional management add-ons. Recalculate TCO with peak load, request volume, retention period, and cross-region/interconnect traffic before production migration.
