From people who have helped customers migrate from Akamai Services to Amazon CloudFront and AWS WAF, here's information on the migration process:



The migration process may involve the following steps, as reported by others:




  1. Assess your current Akamai configuration, including identifying all of the content you deliver through Akamai and any specific rules or settings you are using.

  2. Design your new Amazon CloudFront and AWS WAF configuration, including choosing the right Amazon CloudFront distribution type, configuring caching and delivery settings, and creating AWS WAF rules to protect your content.

  3. Migrate your content to Amazon CloudFront by uploading files to Amazon CloudFront or using a CloudFront Content Delivery Network (CDN) migration tool.

  4. Once your content has been migrated to Amazon CloudFront, you must update your DNS records to point to Amazon CloudFront instead of Akamai.

  5. Once your DNS records have been updated, test your new Amazon CloudFront and AWS WAF configuration to ensure it works as expected.



Many have shared that their experience using Amazon CloudFront and AWS WAF has been positive and that Amazon CloudFront is a reliable and scalable CDN you could use to deliver content to users worldwide with high performance. At the same time, AWS WAF is a powerful Web Application Firewall that can protect your content from various attacks.
