Migration & Modernization

AWS Transform is a collaborative enterprise IT transformation workbench powered by expert agents that accelerate cloud migration, application modernization, and continuous tech debt reduction. On May 14, 2026, AWS announced general availability of the AWS Transform Agent Toolkit Kiro Power, enabling Professional services organizations (e.g., consulting firms delivering cloud migrations), Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) embedding […]

An AWS Transform custom agent converts PyTorch and Triton kernels to NKI for AWS Trainium, compiling, verifying, and profiling every candidate on real hardware. The same Claude model that cold-solves 6% of kernels reaches 83% inside the agent’s verify-and-fix loop.

Introduction A network migration to AWS moves more than a topology. It also moves the decisions baked into that topology: VLANs grouping unrelated workloads that should have been segmented long ago, firewall rules written for an infrastructure that is now decommissioned, and address ranges fragmented by rack placement rather than logical boundaries. A migration is […]

Introduction You are about to rebuild a mainframe application that has run your organization for 30 years, and here is what most teams underestimate going in: the rebuild is not the hard part. Knowing what you are replacing is. A mainframe estate holds thousands of business rules. They are spread across legacy languages it was […]

This post is co-written with Reshma Nuggehally, Jai Bagmar and Kanai Lal Dutta from Accenture Background: Organizations running mainframes face a critical challenge: 90% are pursuing cloud modernization, yet organizations have transitioned fewer than 20% of workloads. Rising operating costs, retiring talent, and rigid architectures demand a fundamentally different approach. In this post, we explore how […]

Collecting structured data from dozens of distributed stakeholders (whether for cloud migration planning, compliance assessments, vendor onboarding, or security reviews) is a persistent bottleneck in enterprise workflows. Teams typically rely on emailed spreadsheets, which generate weeks of follow-ups, inconsistent responses, and manual reconciliation. This post shows how to build a conversational data collection agent on […]

No matter how thorough your planning, large-scale migrations will surface edge cases that no runbook anticipates. The difference between a stalled project and a successful one often comes down to how quickly your team can diagnose, resolve the unexpected and whether those lessons feed back into your process. This post distills that operational knowledge into […]

Organizations running migration projects don’t always operate in a single shared language. Migration teams span geographies, and the people closest to the workloads are often the ones who understand dependencies, business context, and operational risk. They need to work in the language they’re most comfortable with. Today, we’re announcing local language support for the AWS Transform migrations […]

Planning is a critical phase of any cloud migration. You invest significant time coordinating across stakeholders and mapping dependencies to build detailed wave plans. Yet despite this effort, many plans quickly diverge from reality as infrastructure changes, applications get updated, and business priorities shift. An inaccurate plan carries real risk: a migration wave can fail […]

Introduction Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) lets you run VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) directly on AWS bare-metal EC2 instances within your Amazon VPC. With EVS, you get the operational consistency of the VMware stack you already know, combined with the elasticity, security, and breadth of AWS cloud services. VCF 9 is the latest release […]
