Before You Begin

Before you restore Azure VMs to Amazon EC2, consider the following requirements and limitations:

  • Make sure that you added an AWS user account in Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft Azure and specified their credentials to connect to AWS.
  • Make sure that the user account whose credentials you plan to use to connect to AWS has permissions to restore to Amazon EC2. For more information, see AWS IAM User Permissions.
  • You must have a backup of the VM that you plan to restore to Amazon EC2.
  • To restore an Azure VM to an EC2 instance, a helper appliance is required. Consider the following about helper appliances:
  • To upload one VM disk to Amazon EC2, the helper appliance requires 1 GB RAM. Make sure that the type of EC2 instance selected for the helper appliance has enough memory to upload all VM disks.
  • You must enable auto-assignment of public IPv4 addresses in the subnet.
  • The subnet route table must contain a default route to an active AWS internet gateway.
  • The subnet must have no network access control lists (ACLs) or a network ACL that allows inbound and outbound traffic on the ports listed in the Ports section.
  • The security group must allow inbound and outbound traffic on the ports listed in the Ports section.
