Migration & Modernization

When the bottleneck is not your agent, but the applications it depends on Introduction You design an agentic workflow to automate order fulfillment without first evaluating whether your applications are ready for agent interaction. The agent monitors incoming orders, validates inventory, authorizes payment, and triggers shipping. In isolation, each step works. In production, the dependencies […]

Your VP of Engineering wants to know which of your 200 services to modernize first. Your AI team wants to deploy agents against your order management system next quarter. Your CISO wants to know what happens when an autonomous agent calls an API that was built in 2014 with hardcoded credentials and no rate limiting. […]

This post has been co-written by Damien Santé from CAST Introduction Enterprise organizations exploring agentic AI face a common challenge: with hundreds or thousands of applications in their portfolio, how do you determine which systems are ready for autonomous AI agent interaction, and which need modernization first? In our previous post we described agentic readiness […]

Introduction When you run VMware workloads on AWS, getting the right support quickly matters. Today, we’re sharing that Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) customers can now contact AWS or Broadcom for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) support. With this change, you can connect directly to the support organization best positioned to resolve your specific issue, […]

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 […]

For energy companies like ExxonMobil, cloud costs rise as systems grow harder to manage and resources go underutilized. As the largest U.S. based oil and gas company by revenue, ExxonMobil operates a complex mix of on-premises and cloud workloads where infrastructure provisioned for reliability often costs more than it should. To address this, ExxonMobil conducted […]

A year ago, we launched AWS Transform with one mission: modernize the world’s infrastructure and applications. 12 months in, here’s what 4.5+ billion lines of code processed, hundreds of thousands of servers migrated, and saving customers 1.6+ million hours taught us about migration, modernization, and why this work cannot wait. Why this matters more than […]

Managing software licenses in the cloud can be complex, especially when working at scale and looking to leverage licenses you already own. Many customers run Amazon EC2 instances with operating systems like SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), and Fortinet. These operating systems include licensing costs bundled into the hourly instance […]

Migrating hundreds of servers from an on-premises VMware environment to AWS involves coordinating across teams, accounts, and tools. You need to set up your target environments, plan waves, deploy replication agents, monitor their progress, run tests, and perform cutover, often across multiple AWS accounts. Each step can be challenging on its own, requiring careful planning […]

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 […]
