Migration & Modernization

For energy companies like ExxonMobil, cloud costs rise as systems grow harder to manage and resources go underutilized. As the largest U.S. based oil and gas company by revenue, ExxonMobil operates a complex mix of on-premises and cloud workloads where infrastructure provisioned for reliability often costs more than it should. To address this, ExxonMobil conducted […]

A year ago, we launched AWS Transform with one mission: modernize the world’s infrastructure and applications. 12 months in, here’s what 4.5+ billion lines of code processed, hundreds of thousands of servers migrated, and saving customers 1.6+ million hours taught us about migration, modernization, and why this work cannot wait.

Migrating hundreds of servers from an on-premises VMware environment to AWS involves coordinating across teams, accounts, and tools. You need to set up your target environments, plan waves, deploy replication agents, monitor their progress, run tests, and perform cutover, often across multiple AWS accounts. Each step can be challenging on its own, requiring careful planning […]

Introduction If you’re migrating code at scale across hundreds of repositories, you need reproducible results across runs. Large language model (LLM)-based agents, by definition, rely on the probabilistic nature of LLMs where each result is generated from a variety of potentially probable outcomes. In a short-horizon task, this nondeterminism is manageable. In a long-horizon task […]

Introduction When planning or executing a cloud migration, you face a choice between migration strategies: rehost your applications quickly to meet data center exit deadlines, or invest the time to modernize and replatform them into cloud-native architectures. Modernization can take many forms, from serverless architectures, managed services, containers, or a combination, depending on the workload […]

Your mainframe applications encode decades of critical business logic in COBOL and PL/I. That logic processes millions of transactions daily, and it is a valuable asset. But the business demands around that logic are changing faster than the legacy applications can adapt. A bank launching new digital products needs event-driven processing across every channel, not […]
