Generally, you cannot migrate an AWS AMI to Azure VMs. However, you can use tools such as packer.io to minimize the pain of supporting both.

Packer allows you to have a single code base that supports build Images on both Azure and AWS.

  • what's the best possible way that I could use packer in my case? I want to use my AMI in AWS? – Tanuj Chinnu Feb 25 '19 at 23:25
  • Packer has the concept of builders, which allow the images to be built on the platform you desire. The packer template allows for multiple builders to be used. Therefore you can configure a single template to support multiple builders. https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/azure.html – JustEngland Feb 27 '19 at 15:03
