We are discussing with internal ppl if there is an available doc for this use case.

At this point - our AEM doc manager replied:

There are some details around the Azure Data Store here that might be useful.

Team replied here:

For details on how to download, install and configure the Azure Connector, see Azure Connector section here: https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-4/sites/deploying/using/data-store-config.html

Sizing information can be found here, but its not specific to Azure: https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-4/managing/using/hardware-sizing-guidelines.html

If we only talk about the AEM instances themselves (and ignoring all the loadbalancing, networking and access to 3rd party applications), it should be sufficient to copy the complete filesystem from the on-prem server to Azure. That's the 1:1 approach, very simple and comes with the least risk.

When you have that instance running there, you can think about optimizing your setup and use the Azure data store as a followup step.
