"The AWS SDK for Java v2 represents a fundamental shift in how Java applications interact with AWS services, addressing critical security requirements while delivering measurable performance improvements. For organizations still operating on v1, this transition extends beyond a routine version upgrade-it's a strategic imperative for maintaining secure, efficient cloud operations. With v1 reaching end-of-support on December 31, 2025, organizations face a hard deadline where security vulnerabilities will no longer receive patches, potentially violating compliance frameworks that require current, supported software versions."
"Security enhancements alone justify the migration, with v2 implementing advanced credential management, modernized encryption clients, and comprehensive TLS security protocols that v1's architecture cannot accommodate. Beyond security, v2 delivers architectural improvements through non-blocking I/O operations and modular service clients that reduce application footprint while improving response times. This blog post demonstrates how to automate AWS SDK for Java v1 to v2 upgrades using AWS Transform custom, enabling organizations to modernize their Java applications efficiently while minimizing manual intervention and potential errors."
"AWS Transform custom uses agentic AI to perform large-scale modernization of software, code, libraries, and frameworks to reduce technical debt. It handles diverse scenarios including language version upgrades, API and service migrations, framework upgrades and migrations, code refactoring, and organization-specific transformations. Prerequisites Before beginning the transformation process, verify the following requirements: Solution Overview The AWS Transform CLI provides AWS-Managed Transformations that are pre-built, AWS-vetted transformations for common use cases that are ready to use without any additional setup."
AWS SDK for Java v2 provides enhanced security, advanced credential management, modernized encryption clients, and comprehensive TLS protocols while improving performance through non-blocking I/O and modular service clients that reduce application footprint and improve response times. v1 reaches end-of-support on December 31, 2025, creating compliance and security risks when vulnerabilities go unpatched. Automated migration is achievable using AWS Transform custom, which leverages agentic AI to modernize code, libraries, and frameworks at scale, handling language upgrades, API migrations, framework migrations, refactoring, and organization-specific transformations. The AWS Transform CLI supplies AWS-managed, pre-built transformations including aws/java-aws-sdk-v1-to-v2 for streamlined upgrades. Verify prerequisites before starting.
