AWS Mainframe Modernization Documentation

Assess

AWS Mainframe Modernization offers application intelligence, knowledge, and analysis for migration teams and developers to better understand large application portfolios. The assessment capability can help you assess, scope, and plan a migration and modernization project. It is designed to highlight application dependencies and complexities and facilitate the definition of the modernization strategy. It is also designed to highlight application dependencies and complexities, and it can help you with the definition of the modernization strategy.

Refactor

Mainframe Modernization offers refactoring capabilities designed to support the modernization of mainframe and legacy assets. You can use refactoring to convert legacy application programming languages, create macroservices or microservices, and modernize user interfaces (UIs) and application software stacks. It can convert languages into Java services and web frameworks. It is designed to rely on refactoring, preserving the investment in business functions while expediting the reliable transition to newer languages, data stores, and frameworks. 

Data replication

AWS Mainframe Modernization Data Replication with Precisely is designed to leverage data replication to migrate data from mainframe and midrange databases to the AWS Cloud. This capability enables use cases related to application migration and data-driven innovation using AWS services. With access to mainframe and midrange data on AWS, businesses can get modernization projects completed while supporting high-investment mainframe and midrange systems.

File transfer

AWS Mainframe Modernization File Transfer with BMC is a cloud-native service feature that helps with modernization and augmentation projects by supporting transfer and codepage conversion of mainframe data sets and files to the AWS cloud. Using File Transfer you can discover mainframe data sets and files, select the data sets to transfer and the codepage conversion options, and initiate your transfer - all directly from the AWS Management Console. With File Transfer, you can achieve mainframe data set transfers to the AWS Cloud with compression, handle parallel transfers and conversion of data sets and integrate file transfer operations with your existing CI/CD pipelines. 

Developer IDE

Mainframe Modernization offers an on-demand integrated development environment (IDE) so developers can write code with smart editing and debugging, code compilation, and unit testing. You can also use the IDE to develop and enhance enterprise applications running on the Mainframe Modernization cloud native runtime. The Developer IDE is available on demand for both the refactor and replatform patterns.

Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD)

CI/CD is designed to support agility and release velocity across different stages of the development and test pipeline. AWS Mainframe Modernization helps application development teams deliver code changes. CI/CD pipelines are designed to be available for both the refactor and replatform patterns.

Cloud native runtime

AWS Mainframe Modernization service enables customers to execute their modernized mainframe applications on a cloud-native runtime environment, while helping customers to maintain control over their infrastructure. The runtime environment supports resources such as compute, middleware, caching, locks, data, queues, transactions, and batch processing.
