Accelerating Cloud Migration with AWS Transform and Generative AI

This article explains how generative AI, specifically AWS Transform, reduces cloud migration costs and timelines by automating key migration phases.

• AWS Transform uses agentic AI for automated discovery, intelligent planning, migration execution, and team collaboration
• Automated discovery reduces timeline by 50%; network conversion up to 80x faster than manual approaches
• Vector Limited achieved 34% faster migration, 35% lower five-year costs, 60% automated wave planning
• Generative AI reduces migration time by 30–40% according to McKinsey research
• Hypothetical 2,000-VM enterprise saves $2.86M in Cost of Change with AWS Transform versus traditional migration
• Five-year ROI improves from 22% to 81% with AI-accelerated migration
• AWS Transform supports VMware-to-AWS migrations for Windows and Linux servers

AWS Transform demonstrates how generative AI dramatically improves cloud migration economics by reducing timelines, costs, and manual effort while freeing technical resources for strategic initiatives.
