AWS Transform adds containerization capability during migrations

AWS Transform now supports replatforming applications to containers during migration to AWS. This release extends AWS Transform's agentic AI capabilities to automate the containerization of your source code, enabling you to migrate and modernize in parallel, reducing the time and complexity of moving from on-premises to cloud-native architectures. Migration teams can containerize source code from GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or .zip files, generate Docker images, publish to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR), and deploy to Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). This brings containerization into the same workflow your team uses to plan and execute rehost migrations.

AWS Transform analyzes your source code repositories, generates Dockerfiles, and builds container images with integrated security scanning for common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). It produces deployment-ready Terraform infrastructure-as-code and Helm charts for your target environment. The service supports monolithic repositories (monorepos) and multi-repo structures, private dependency resolution through AWS CodeArtifact, and containerization of thousands of applications at scale. During migration wave planning, you can assign applications to either a rehost or replatform-to-containers path, so you can move and realize the benefits of AWS faster.

This new capability is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Transform is offered.
