AWS Transform announces Azure-to-AWS cloud-native code conversion

AWS Transform has introduced a feature that converts application code from Azure SDK to AWS SDK, specifically targeting .NET applications. The service identifies Azure service code in submitted source code and converts it to equivalent AWS service code, such as Azure Functions to AWS Lambda and Azure Cosmos DB to Amazon DynamoDB. Users can review and adjust conversion options in the assessment report before proceeding with modernization. The process validates changes to ensure the transformed code incorporates the new AWS SDK calls correctly.

The modernization agent supports multiple Azure-to-AWS service conversions, including Azure Blob Storage to Amazon S3, Azure Queue Storage to Amazon SQS, and Azure Cosmos DB to Amazon DynamoDB (currently in preview). Users receive a modernization plan detailing the proposed changes, allowing for customization before execution. This feature aims to streamline the migration of cloud-native .NET applications from Azure to AWS.

AWS Transform is now available in eight AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), Asia Pacific (Mumbai, Tokyo, Seoul, Sydney), Canada (Central), and Europe (Frankfurt, London). The service provides a guided approach to converting Azure SDK code, reducing manual effort in migrating applications. Users can access detailed documentation and guidance in the AWS Transform User Guide for further assistance.

The feature is designed to accelerate the migration of .NET applications from Azure to AWS by automating the conversion of Azure service code to AWS equivalents. It supports critical services like serverless functions, storage, and databases, ensuring compatibility with AWS infrastructure. The tool validates the transformed code to confirm successful integration of AWS SDK calls, providing a reliable path for modernization.
