Maintained VM Properties when Recovering to a vCenter Server Site from a Protected AWS Site

The following conversions are done to a protected virtual machine when it is recovered in vSphere:

The SCSI controller type is operating system dependent.
All disks are thin provisioned.
Recovered virtual machines use the VMware Virtual E1000 network adapter.
Operating systems will be either Windows 2012 (64-bit) or Linux Other (64-bit)
(Public cloud environments) Memory and CPU properties will be extracted from the instance type in Azure and AWS.
(Azure environments) In Azure VMs, each data disk has a Logical Unit Number (LUN) whereas in the recovered VMs there are no LUNs.

The following tables display settings that are retained when recovering to a vCenter Server site from AWS:
