This expansion marks a turning point for the industry as the company says the updates are automating tasks and have already analyzed over a billion lines of code, saving 810 thousand hours of manual work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company says the expansion is aimed at helping organizations reduce long-standing \u201ctech debt\u201d\u2014a term used to describe nearly 30% of engineering time wasted on maintaining old systems that should have been designed better in the first place.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS Transform was initially introduced to automate modernization for Windows .NET applications, VMware systems, and mainframes. The service has enabled customers to modernize systems up to 4 times faster by using its earlier capabilities. The new release significantly broadens the scope, introducing an AI-driven \u201ccustom capability\u201d that can modernize any code, API, runtime, framework, architecture, or language, including proprietary, organization-specific ones.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1920px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-449983-1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.menatech.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/AWS_Transform_Launch_Short-4.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.menatech.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/AWS_Transform_Launch_Short-4.mp4\">https:\/\/cdn.menatech.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/AWS_Transform_Launch_Short-4.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new \u201ccustom\u201d agent is designed for transformations across\u00a0hundreds or thousands of applications, delivering up to\u00a05\u00d7 faster modernization\u00a0than manual efforts, according to AWS. It supports both pre-built transformations, such as upgrades to Java, Node.js, and Python, and fully customized workflows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The system also incorporates feedback loops so the agent improves reliability with each project. Organizations such as\u00a0Air Canada\u00a0and\u00a0QAD\u00a0reported major reductions in modernization time and cost. Air Canada used Transform to coordinate updates across thousands of Lambda functions, cutting expected effort by\u00a080%. QAD processed\u00a0180,000 lines of legacy code\u00a0with reported accuracy gains and productivity improvements of\u00a060%\u201370%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AWS is also extending Transform into\u00a0full-stack Windows modernization. The upgraded service analyzes an organization\u2019s entire Windows environment and generates coordinated modernization plans. Once approved, the agentic system performs end-to-end transformation into\u00a0open-source, cloud-native solutions, potentially reducing licensing and maintenance costs by\u00a0up to 70%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company says Customers such as\u00a0Teamfront\u00a0and\u00a0Thomson Reuters\u00a0have used the service to migrate large codebases, with Thomson Reuters reporting migration speeds of\u00a01.5 million lines of code per month\u00a0and a\u00a050% reduction\u00a0in technical debt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium_large wp-image-449985 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.menatech.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Untitled-1200-x-800-px-2-768x512.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.menatech.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Untitled-1200-x-800-px-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.menatech.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Untitled-1200-x-800-px-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.menatech.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Untitled-1200-x-800-px-2-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.menatech.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Untitled-1200-x-800-px-2.png 1200w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/512;\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional updates target\u00a0mainframe and VMware modernization, both of which have long been considered among the most complex areas of enterprise transformation. For mainframes, AWS is adding three new agents that expand capabilities around activity analysis, blueprint generation for business functions, and domain decomposition. New testing agents now automate test-plan creation, data collection, and validation scripts\u2014tasks that typically consume half of modernization project timelines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collectively, the new capabilities constitute one of the most significant advancements for AI agents. AWS Transform is now considered a broad modernization platform rather than a Windows-only or mainframe-focused tool. The company says the upgrades will help enterprises reduce technical debt more quickly, lower long-term licensing costs, and accelerate the shift to modern, cloud-based architectures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon Web Services has announced a significant expansion of\u00a0\u201cAWS Transform\u201d, its agentic AI service designed to modernize legacy applications, codebases, and infrastructure at scale.
