"Amazon Web Services is aiming to reduce it with the addition of new capabilities to AWS Transform, its AI-driven service for modernizing legacy code, applications, and infrastructure. "Modernization is no longer optional for enterprises these days," said Akshat Tyagi, associate practice leader at HFS Research. They need cleaner code and updated SDKs to run AI workloads, tighten security, and meet new regulations, he said, but their inability to modernize custom code quickly and with little manual effort is one of the major drivers of technical debt."
"New mainframe modernization agents add functions including activity analysis to help decide whether to modernize or retire code; blueprints to identify the business functions and flows hidden in legacy code; and automated test plan generation. AWS Transform for VMware gains new functionality including an on-premises discovery tool; support for configuration migration of network security tools from Cisco ACI, Fortigate, and Palo Alto Networks; and a migration planning agent that draws business context from unstructured documents, files, chats and business rules."
AWS is expanding AWS Transform with new capabilities to modernize VMware, Windows .Net, and mainframe environments using agentic AI. New mainframe agents provide activity analysis to evaluate modernization versus retirement, blueprints to reveal business functions and flows, and automated test-plan generation. AWS Transform for VMware adds an on-premises discovery tool, configuration migration support for Cisco ACI, Fortigate, and Palo Alto Networks, and a migration planning agent that extracts business context from unstructured documents, files, chats, and business rules. A composability initiative invites partners to integrate proprietary migration tools; Accenture, Capgemini, and Pegasystems are initial participants. AWS Transform custom targets custom code modernization to reduce manual effort.
