Maintaining HIPAA compliance when migrating with AWS Transform MGN

Healthcare organizations migrating regulated workloads to AWS must maintain security and privacy controls at every phase, including replication, testing, and cutover, not just after workloads reach production. This post shows how to layer HIPAA controls onto the proven multi-account AWS Transform MGN (formerly AWS Application Migration Service) migration architecture using AWS Resource Access Manager, covering encrypted private replication, audit continuity, and evidence collection.  […]

Dive Deep into the AWS Transform Network Migration Agent: Hub and Spoke Network Setup

Introduction Network design takes real effort in any migration. You need to map source network segments to VPCs, plan subnets across Availability Zones, translate firewall rules into security groups, and configure route tables that keep traffic flowing, a challenge the AWS Transform – Migrations network migration agent solves for you. You upload exports from well-known […]

Mass-migrating AI agents to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore

This post shows how to migrate a fleet of AI agents from Amazon Bedrock Agents Classic to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime using a pattern-first approach and parallel AI subagents. We migrated 20 agents from the open-source HCLS Agents Toolkit in approximately 2.5 hours of wall-clock time, across three phases: establishing a migration template, running parallel […]

Automate MAP Tagging at Scale with Amazon Nova and AWS Serverless

Learn how to automate AWS MAP tagging at scale using Amazon Nova and serverless architecture. Deploy a self-service solution that generates correct tag values, CLI commands, and discovers untagged resources in ~5–8 minutes. | 31 August 2026 | Amazon Bedrock, AWS Lambda, AWS CloudFormation, Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), Generative AI. Introduction MAP tagging determines whether […]

Increase your cluster density with Memory Tiering in Amazon Elastic VMware Service

Increase your cluster density with Memory Tiering in Amazon Elastic VMware Service

Increasing your cluster density by using Memory Tiering within the Amazon Elastic VMware Service (Amazon EVS) can help drive down the costs of your AWS infrastructure. Amazon EVS now supports VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 and 9.1 . In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 Memory Tiering was introduced, which is a new feature within ESX […]

Disaster Recovery for VMware Workloads on Amazon EVS

Many organizations run business-critical workloads on VMware, and most know that a single outage can disrupt operations, impact customers, and put revenue and reputation at risk. Disaster recovery (DR) is the solution: a secondary environment ready to take over when the primary site goes down. But building one has traditionally meant heavy upfront investment, long […]

From Mainframes to Microservices: Specification-Driven Mainframe Modernization with AI Agents

From Mainframes to Microservices: Specification-Driven Mainframe Modernization with AI Agents

The Modernization Challenge Mainframe modernization projects often stall for the same reason; teams cannot capture what the legacy application does with enough precision to rebuild it confidently. The business logic running these applications is sound, it has processed millions of transactions daily for decades. But the applications themselves were written for a different era. They […]

Automating FSx for NetApp ONTAP Mounts with SSM and MGN Post-Migration

As organizations migrate to AWS at scale, connecting migrated instances to their new storage is a common bottleneck. When workloads move from on-premises NFS servers to Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, teams often mount file systems by hand, minutes per instance that add up to weeks across hundreds or thousands of servers. This solution combines […]

Stop hand-porting kernels: migrate PyTorch and Triton kernels to AWS Trainium with an AWS Transform custom agent

Stop hand-porting kernels: migrate PyTorch and Triton kernels to AWS Trainium with an AWS Transform custom agent

An AWS Transform custom agent converts PyTorch and Triton kernels to NKI for AWS Trainium, compiling, verifying, and profiling every candidate on real hardware. The same Claude model that cold-solves 6% of kernels reaches 83% inside the agent’s verify-and-fix loop.

Refine AWS Transform Generated Networks Using AI-Guided Optimization

Introduction A network migration to AWS moves more than a topology. It also moves the decisions baked into that topology: VLANs grouping unrelated workloads that should have been segmented long ago, firewall rules written for an infrastructure that is now decommissioned, and address ranges fragmented by rack placement rather than logical boundaries. A migration is […]
