I can say it is appropriate in many ways, like the data transfer and the migration part. The generations in the AWS snow family are also helpful in choosing the right one based on the amount of data and budget aspects. Moreover, it was well suited for use in migrating bulk amounts of data. The surveillance part is a bit drawback for us, and now its ok, and we are good with it.

High-performance workloads: Managed Disks can be used for other high-performance workloads such as databases

Actually, we have used both the AWS Database Migration Service and AWS snow family's snowmobile, and we have a lot of experience with both migration parts. But the one we choose the best is the AWS snow family. Among these, it really works like something to migrate all the existing data to AWS servers in a very short span. Moreover, the accuracy of the data transfer is 100%.

We have been using miscrosoft products from the start so it was quite natural to go with Azure Managed Disks as it would be very easy to integrate with other products that we have in use and obviously the knowledge most of our engineeirs have also played a big part it, so we prefferd Azure Managed Disks
