AWS Transform for mainframe now supports application reimagining
AWS Transform for mainframe delivers new data and activity analysis capabilities to extract comprehensive insights to drive the reimagining of mainframe applications. These insights can be combined with business logic extraction to inform decomposition of legacy applications into logical business domains. Together, these form the basis of a comprehensive specification for coding agents like Kiro to reimagine applications into cloud-native architectures.
The new capabilities empower organizations to reimagine legacy workloads, providing a comprehensive reverse engineering workflow that includes automated code and data structure analysis, activity analysis, technical documentation generation, business logic extraction, and intelligent code decomposition. Through in-depth data and activity analysis, AWS Transform helps identify application components with high utilization or business value, allowing teams to optimize their modernization efforts and make data-informed architectural decisions.
In the AI-powered chat interface, users can customize their modernization approach through flexible job plans that allow them to select predefined comprehensive workflows—full modernization, analysis focus, or business logic focus—or create their own combination of capabilities based on specific objectives.
The reimagine capabilities in AWS Transform for mainframe are available today in US East (N. Virginia), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), and Europe (London) Regions.
