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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Flexibility, control, and choice have always been core pillars of the Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS). Amazon EVS gives you the ability to maintain existing investments in VMware technologies while embracing the benefits of the cloud. With Amazon EVS, you can run VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) directly within your Amazon VPC on EC2 bare-metal […]

Large-scale cloud migration planning often requires coordinating multiple teams, gathering accurate technical information, and tracking schedules against migration progress across hundreds of applications. Migration planning teams often struggle with data collection, parsing scattered data across spreadsheets and emails. Application owners face repetitive questionnaires and changing timelines. And migration engineers require detailed infrastructure assessments to avoid […]

AWS Transform for VMware simplifies how organizations migrate VMware workloads to AWS by providing an AI-driven, agentic experience that automates the entire migration journey, from initial discovery and assessment, through migration planning and wave execution, to the actual migration of virtual machines to AWS. It addresses one of the critical migration challenges: translating on-premises network […]

In this blog post, I will demonstrate a pattern to modernize your existing application by adding agentic AI capability to it without touching the source code of your legacy application. I will do that by offloading the heavy lifting of this transformation to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway and Kiro powers. For the purposes of this […]

Introduction In this blog we outline options for online and offline data transfer scenarios to AWS. Customers’ migration goals, available network bandwidth speed and reliability, and size of data to be imported, can then guide the choice on which service to use. AWS DataSync is a secure, online service that automates and accelerates moving data […]

Mainframe modernization is necessary for enterprises to increase agility, reduce costs, innovate, and mitigate business risks. Yet organizations face a significant hurdle during modernization: testing is critically important to validate modernized applications behavior, but it typically consumes more than half of project timelines and resources. As enterprises race to modernize their legacy systems, this testing […]

When deploying Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS), the NSX Edge Cluster deploys independently of the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) Manager, preventing access to Application Virtual Networks for optional VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) tools such as VCF Logs, VCF Operations and VCF Automation. This post outlines a solution enabling Application Virtual Networks by deploying an […]
