Stop hand-porting kernels: migrate PyTorch and Triton kernels to AWS Trainium with an AWS Transform custom agent

Stop hand-porting kernels: migrate PyTorch and Triton kernels to AWS Trainium with an AWS Transform custom agent

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.

Refine AWS Transform Generated Networks Using AI-Guided Optimization

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 […]

Building a Conversational Data Collection Agent on Amazon Quick

Building a Conversational Data Collection Agent on Amazon Quick

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 […]

Lessons from Production Migrations: Troubleshooting Complex Issues with AWS Transform MGN

Lessons from Production Migrations: Troubleshooting Complex Issues with AWS Transform MGN

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 […]

Agile Migration Planning: Accelerate Wave Planning with AWS Transform

Agile Migration Planning: Accelerate Wave Planning with AWS Transform

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 […]

Deploying VCF 9.1 on Amazon EVS with End-to-End Automation

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 […]

Accelerate VMWare Migrations

Accelerate VMware migration to AWS with Experience-Based Acceleration

Introduction If your organization runs VMware workloads on-premises or in another cloud and needs to migrate to AWS without disrupting operations, Experience-Based Acceleration (EBA) provides a proven path to do it fast. Using a structured three-day EBA workshop with AWS, organizations have moved multiple critical applications to AWS in days. Their engineers built hands-on migration […]

Automate Your Landing Zone Creation with AWS Transform

Automate Your Landing Zone Creation with AWS Transform

When enterprises embark on their cloud migration journey, they bring years of operational maturity from running their workloads on-premises: separate environments for development, testing, and production, often segmented by business unit, with dedicated infrastructure, network boundaries, and identity controls for each. Translating these well-established patterns into cloud-native constructs like account structures, organizational units (OUs), and […]

Replacing Netflix Conductor with AWS Step Functions: What We Learned

Introduction Accelerate your business transformation by migrating from Netflix Conductor to AWS Step Functions. This strategic move offers significant benefits: Cost Reduction: Eliminate infrastructure management costs and take advantage of AWS’s pay-per-use model. Increased Reliability: Benefit from AWS’s fully managed service with a 99.9% availability SLA. Enhanced Scalability: Scale to up to 1 million open […]

Consistent Code Modernization at Scale with AWS Transform Custom Knowledge Items

Consistent Code Modernization at Scale with AWS Transform Custom Knowledge Items

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 […]
