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 […]

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 […]

Introduction AWS Transform Custom (ATX) automates code modernization at scale. What makes it different from running an AI coding assistant on each repo is that it learns. Each execution captures patterns, fixes, and edge cases as reusable knowledge, so transformations get faster and more reliable with every run. If you’ve got hundreds of Java 8 […]

Summary Migrating data from Azure Blob Storage to Amazon Simple Storage Service a common requirement for organizations consolidating on AWS or adopting multi-cloud storage strategies. AWS DataSync makes this agentless migration simple — no VMs to deploy, no agents to manage. Whether you’re consolidating storage on AWS, reducing cross-cloud egress costs, or unlocking AWS-native analytics […]

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 […]

Flexibility, control, and choice have always been core pillars of the Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS). Amazon EVS gives you the ability to maintain existing investments in VMware technologies while embracing the benefits of the cloud. With Amazon EVS, you can run VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) directly within your Amazon VPC on EC2 bare-metal […]

Introduction In this blog we outline options for online and offline data transfer scenarios to AWS. Customers’ migration goals, available network bandwidth speed and reliability, and size of data to be imported, can then guide the choice on which service to use. AWS DataSync is a secure, online service that automates and accelerates moving data […]

Mainframe modernization is necessary for enterprises to increase agility, reduce costs, innovate, and mitigate business risks. Yet organizations face a significant hurdle during modernization: testing is critically important to validate modernized applications behavior, but it typically consumes more than half of project timelines and resources. As enterprises race to modernize their legacy systems, this testing […]
