AWS Transform for mainframe, previewed as “Amazon Q Developer transformation capabilities for mainframe” at re:Invent 2024, is now generally available. AWS Transform is the first agentic AI service for modernizing mainframe applications at scale—accelerating modernization of IBM z/OS applications from years to months.

Powered by a specialized AI agent leveraging 19 years of AWS experience, AWS Transform streamlines the entire transformation process—from initial analysis and planning to code documentation and refactoring—helping organizations to modernize faster, reduce risk and cost, and achieve better outcomes in the cloud.

This release introduces significant new capabilities. Enhanced analysis features help teams identify cyclomatic complexity, homonyms, and duplicate IDs across codebases, with new export and import functions for file classification and in-UI file viewing and comparison. Documentation generation now supports larger codebases with improved performance and recovery capabilities, including an AI-powered chat experience for querying generated documentation. 

Teams can use improved decomposition features to manage dependencies and domain creation, while new deployment templates streamline environment setup for modernized applications. The service also introduces flexible job management, allowing teams to modify objectives and focus on specific transformation steps during reruns. 

AWS Transform for mainframe is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia) and Europe (Frankfurt).

To learn more, read the blog post, register for the upcoming launch webinar, or get started in the AWS Transform web experience.

At re:Invent 2024, AWS introduced the preview of Amazon Q Developer transformation capabilities for VMware. That innovation has evolved into AWS Transform for VMware—a first-of-its-kind agentic AI service that’s now generally available. Powered by large language models, graph neural networks, and the deep experience of AWS in enterprise workload migrations, AWS Transform simplifies VMware modernization at scale. Customers and partners can now move faster, reduce migration risk, and modernize with confidence.

VMware environments have long been foundational to enterprise IT, but rising costs and vendor uncertainty are prompting organizations to rethink their strategies. Despite the urgency, VMware workload migration has historically been slow and error-prone. AWS Transform changes that. With agentic AI, AWS Transform automates the full modernization lifecycle—from discovery and dependency mapping to network translation and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) optimization. Certain tasks that once took weeks can now be completed in minutes. In testing, AWS generated migration wave plans for 500 VMs in just 15 minutes and performed networking translations up to 80x faster than traditional methods. Partners in pilot programs have cut execution times by up to 90%. 

Beyond speed, AWS Transform delivers precision and transparency. A shared workspace brings together infrastructure teams, app owners, partners, and AWS experts to resolve blockers and maintain alignment. Built-in human-in-the-loop controls confirm all artifacts are validated before execution. As enterprises aim to break free from legacy constraints and tap into the value of their data, AWS Transform offers a streamlined path to modern, cloud-native architectures. Customers can seamlessly integrate with 200+ AWS services—including analytics, serverless, and generative AI—to accelerate innovation and reduce long-term costs.

Start your VMware modernization journey with AWS Transform. Read the launch blog, explore the documentation, register for the launch webinar, or check out the interactive demo.

Amazon Bedrock Guardrails announces support for cross-region inference, an optional feature that enables customers to seamlessly manage traffic bursts by utilizing compute across different AWS regions.

Bedrock Guardrails provides configurable safeguards to help detect and block harmful content and prompt attacks, define topics to deny and disallow specific topics, and helps redact personally identifiable information (PII) such as personal data from input prompts and model responses. Additionally, Bedrock Guardrails helps detect and block model hallucinations, and identify, correct, and explain factual claims in model responses using Automated Reasoning checks. Guardrails can be applied across any foundation model including those hosted with Amazon Bedrock, self-hosted models, and third-party models outside Bedrock using the ApplyGuardrail API, providing a consistent user experience and helping to standardize safety and privacy controls.

By using cross-region inference, Amazon Bedrock Guardrails customers will be able to get consistent throughput and enhanced resilience during periods of peak demand. By opting in, customers no longer have to spend time and effort predicting demand fluctuations. Instead, cross-region inference dynamically routes traffic across multiple regions, ensuring optimal availability for each request and smoother performance during high-usage periods.

There’s no additional routing cost for using cross-region inference with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails. Please find the list of supported regions here.

To learn more about the feature and how to get started, refer to the technical documentation.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now allows customers to make API requests over Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) with dual-stack AWS PrivateLink interface Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) endpoints. This enhancement extends IPv6 compatibility, previously available only for public endpoints, to VPC endpoints across all AWS Regions. Dual-stack endpoints that have been validated under the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 program are also available.

Kinesis Data Streams allows users to capture, process, and store data streams in real time at any scale. Customers can now leverage IPv6 connectivity for data-streaming workloads within their Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). IPv6 support is crucial for organizations facing IPv4 address exhaustion or those required to support IPv6 for compliance reasons. This feature allows for seamless integration of Kinesis Data Streams with IPv6-only networks, simplifying network management and reducing the need for complex IPv4 to IPv6 translations.

IPv6 support for VPC endpoints is now available in all AWS Regions, including commercial regions and AWS China regions operated by Sinnet and NWCD. See here for a full listing of our Regions and endpoints. To learn more about using Kinesis Data Streams with interface VPC endpoints, please refer to our Developer Guide. To learn more about AWS PrivateLink, see accessing AWS services through AWS PrivateLink.

Starting today, you can launch Windows instances using EC2 Fast Launch, without requiring a launch template or a default VPC.

EC2 Fast Launch reduces the launch times of Windows instances using pre-provisioned snapshots. Previously, customers needed a launch template or a default VPC to enable EC2 Fast Launch for their Windows AMIs. With this update, you can enable EC2 Fast Launch with only the AMI ID.

The updated EC2 Fast Launch is now available through the AWS Console, CLI, and SDK in all AWS Commercial Regions and AWS GovCloud Regions. To get started with EC2 Fast Launch and to learn more about this new streamlined configuration, please visit the EC2 Fast Launch User Guide.

AWS Control Tower customers can now programmatically view statuses for their governed accounts via baseline APIs. The AWS Control Tower baseline contains best practice configurations, controls, and resources required for governance. When you enable this baseline on an organizational unit (OU), member accounts within the OU will be enrolled under governance.

With this new experience, you can use baseline status to view enrollment for your accounts and use drift status to identify when account and OU baseline configurations are out of sync. In addition to seeing statuses for your accounts and OUs in the AWS Control Tower console, you can the ListEnabledBaselines API to view statuses for your enabled baselines. To view statuses for individual accounts, use the “includeChildren” flag. You can filter by these statuses to view only the accounts and OUs which require your attention. These APIs include AWS CloudFormation support, allowing you to build automations to manage your OUs and accounts with infrastructure as code (IaC).

To learn more about these APIs, review Baselines and API References in the AWS Control Tower User Guide. Baseline APIs and the newly launched reporting capabilities are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Control Tower is available. For a list of AWS Regions where AWS Control Tower is available, see the AWS Region Table.
