If your enterprise applications are still running on legacy VMware, Mainframes, or outdated .NET frameworks, you are likely paying significantly more in Windows licensing fees than necessary. Every organization wants to modernize to the cloud, but refactoring legacy monoliths traditionally requires months of time, heavy manual effort, and a massive budget.
What if an AI agent could think, refactor, and deploy your code for you?
Meet AWS Transform: The New Agentic AI for Cloud Migration
AWS Transform is a revolutionary AI-powered service designed to automate the modernization of legacy workloads (VMware, Mainframes, .NET) to the AWS cloud. Unlike standard migration tools, this is an agentic AI service that doesn’t just move code—it transforms it.
There is currently no exact all-in-one alternative in the GCP or third-party market that matches this capability. While traditional modernization takes months, AWS Transform makes the process 4x faster and can reduce Windows licensing costs by up to 40% by converting .NET Framework applications to cross-platform .NET (e.g., .NET 8) and Linux-ready code.
How It Works:
- Discovery & Assessment: The AI agent connects to your repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) to scan code, dependencies, and network architectures (VPCs, subnets), creating a comprehensive mapping.
- Automated Refactoring: It decomposes legacy monoliths and converts Windows-bound .NET code into Linux-ready, cross-platform architecture.
- Validation: The AI automatically runs unit tests on the refactored code to ensure it is production-ready.
- Human Control: DevOps engineers retain full control via a chat-based workspace to review and approve migration plans. You can even use the “Port with AWS Transform” feature directly inside Visual Studio.
Real-World Success: How Top Companies Accelerated Modernization
Many global enterprises have already used this agentic AI to crush their technical debt and slash timelines. Here is the proof:
- Planet DDS (3 Months to < 1 Week): They needed to upgrade their .NET 4.6 codebase to .NET 8. A project estimated to take 3 months of manual work was completed in less than one week using AWS Transform
- Idemia (Clearing 25 Years of Debt): Idemia utilized this tool to clear 25 years of technical debt and modernize mission-critical applications that were previously too complex to touch.YouTube
- Forgeahead (80% Cost Reduction): While migrating a .NET 4.6 project, they achieved an 80% reduction in cost and technical debt, with the AI successfully building unit test cases automatically.
- GTI: By porting their application to .NET 8, GTI reduced their manual modernization effort by 70% and achieved a 100% success rate.
- Signaturit: Their license management component modernization was projected to take 6–8 months. The AI agent completed it in just a few days.
