Migration guide: Azure IoT Hub → AWS IoT Core
A four-step playbook most teams follow when switching from Azure IoT Hub.
- 1
Export your data
Pull your data from Azure IoT Hub using the built-in export (CSV/JSON) or the official API.
- 2
Provision AWS IoT Core
Create a workspace, invite your team, and configure SSO or auth to match your current setup.
- 3
Import & map fields
Use AWS IoT Core's importer (or a lightweight ETL) and map your fields — start with a single project to validate.
- 4
Run in parallel
Keep both tools live for 1–2 weeks. Diff outputs and address gaps before the full cutover.
What switchers say
Paraphrased from verified user reviews of teams that migrated away from Azure IoT Hub.
We switched after our team hit the pricing ceiling — the migration took a weekend and we haven't looked back.
— Head of Ops, 40-person SaaS
The UX felt familiar day one, and the CSV importer got us 95% of the way without engineering help.
— Product Manager, mid-market
Same features, roughly a third of the cost. The only thing we lost was one integration we barely used.
— Founder, seed-stage startup
