Amazon linux AMI vs Ubuntu

Question

I am new at a firm and that I was given a project that was on Amazon linux AMI, now we'd like to transfer the project on another server and since I am more conversant in UBUNTU than with Amazon Linux AMI i used to be wondering if there much difference, and can project work perfectly?

Thank you.

Amazon Linux AMI may be a red hat based distro so things just like the package installer or the tools for service manage are different, and another thing you would think about is the way of boot straping, amazon instance is much more flexible to do some things in cloud formation in the ubuntu way the best form to do it is with cloudinit, you need to think about the packages too are multiple packages that not are native supported by Amazon Linux.
