# Azure Migration Guide
Guide for migrating from Microsoft Azure to Sankofa Phoenix.
## Overview
Sankofa Phoenix provides a superior alternative to Azure with:
- **Sovereign infrastructure**: Own your hardware
- **Better features**: More flexible, granular, better UX
- **No vendor lock-in**: Open source, self-hosted
- **Lower costs**: No per-user licensing
- **Superior billing**: Per-second granularity vs hourly
## Migration Strategy
### Phase 1: Assessment
1. **Inventory Azure resources**
- List all VMs, storage, networks
- Document configurations
- Identify dependencies
2. **Map to Sankofa equivalents**
- Azure VMs → Phoenix VMs
- Azure Storage → Phoenix Storage (Ceph/MinIO)
- Azure Networking → Phoenix Networking
- Azure AD → Keycloak (Phoenix Identity Spine)
3. **Identify migration blockers**
- Azure-specific services
- Proprietary features
- Licensing dependencies
### Phase 2: Identity Migration
#### From Azure AD to Keycloak
1. **Export users from Azure AD**
```powershell
Get-AzureADUser | Export-Csv users.csv
```
2. **Import to Keycloak**
- Use Keycloak import API
- Map Azure AD groups to Keycloak groups
- Preserve user attributes
3. **Configure SSO**
- Set up SAML/OIDC provider in Keycloak
- Update applications to use Keycloak
- Test authentication flows
### Phase 3: Resource Migration
#### VMs
1. **Export VM configurations**
- Document VM specs
- Export disk images
- Note network configurations
2. **Create in Sankofa**
```graphql
mutation {
createResource(input: {
name: "vm-name"
type: VM
siteId: "site-id"
metadata: {
vcpu: 4
memory: 8192
disk: 100
}
}) {
id
status
}
}
```
#### Storage
1. **Export data from Azure Storage**
- Use Azure CLI or SDK
- Download blobs/files
2. **Import to Phoenix Storage**
- Upload to MinIO/Ceph
- Preserve directory structure
- Update application configs
#### Networking
1. **Document network topology**
- VNets, subnets, NSGs
- Load balancers
- VPN connections
2. **Recreate in Phoenix**
- Use Proxmox networking
- Configure VLANs
- Set up Cloudflare tunnels
### Phase 4: Application Migration
1. **Update API endpoints**
- Change from Azure APIs to Phoenix APIs
- Update authentication
- Test functionality
2. **Update configurations**
- Environment variables
- Connection strings
- Service endpoints
3. **Deploy to Phoenix**
- Use GitOps (ArgoCD)
- Deploy via Crossplane
- Verify functionality
## Feature Mapping
| Azure Service | Sankofa Phoenix Equivalent | Notes |
|---------------|----------------------------|-------|
| Azure AD | Keycloak | Sovereign, self-hosted |
| Azure VMs | Phoenix VMs (Proxmox) | More flexible |
| Azure Storage | Phoenix Storage (Ceph/MinIO) | S3-compatible |
| Azure Networking | Phoenix Networking | Cloudflare tunnels |
| Azure Cost Management | Phoenix Billing | Per-second vs hourly |
| Azure RBAC | Phoenix Permissions | More granular |
| Azure Monitor | Prometheus/Grafana | Open source |
## Benefits of Migration
1. **Cost Savings**
- No per-user licensing
- Per-second billing (vs hourly)
- Reserved capacity discounts
2. **Better Control**
- Own your infrastructure
- No vendor lock-in
- Custom configurations
3. **Superior Features**
- Per-second billing
- Real-time cost tracking
- ML-based forecasting
- Blockchain-backed billing
4. **Sovereignty**
- Complete data control
- No Microsoft dependencies
- Self-hosted everything
