How to Migrate from AWS to Harch Corp GPU Cloud

Complete migration guide: move AI workloads from AWS to Harch Corp. Save 30-50% and reduce carbon by 85%.

10 min read·8 steps
1

Assess your AWS workloads

Identify GPU workloads to migrate: EC2 P4/G5 instances, SageMaker training jobs, ECS/EKS GPU tasks. Document instance types, AMIs, storage volumes, and networking requirements.

2

Create Harch Corp account

Sign up at harchcorp.com. Verify your account. Create API keys. Familiarize yourself with the dashboard and CLI tools.

3

Provision equivalent resources

Map AWS instances to Harch Corp: p4d.24xlarge (8x A100) → Harch 8x A100, p5.48xlarge (8x H100) → Harch 8x H100. Provision storage (equivalent to EBS), networking (equivalent to VPC).

4

Transfer your data

Use rsync or AWS S3 sync to transfer data. For large datasets, Harch Corp provides direct transfer from S3. Estimate transfer time: 1TB over 1Gbps = ~2.5 hours.

5

Update your code

Update endpoints, IAM roles, and SDK calls. Harch Corp uses OpenStack-compatible API (similar to AWS). Most code changes are minimal: update instance IDs, regions, and API endpoints.

6

Test your workloads

Run test jobs on Harch Corp before switching production. Verify: training convergence, inference latency, data pipeline, auto-scaling. Benchmark performance vs AWS.

7

Switch production traffic

Use DNS (Route 53) to gradually switch traffic: 10% → 50% → 100% over 1-2 weeks. Monitor for issues. Keep AWS as fallback for 30 days.

8

Decommission AWS resources

After 30 days of stable operation on Harch Corp, terminate AWS instances, delete EBS volumes, clean up S3 buckets. Save 30-50% on GPU costs and reduce carbon by 85%.
