Containerize during migration: Replatform applications to containers with AWS Transform

This article introduces AWS Transform's new containerization capability that automates application containerization during cloud migrations, enabling teams to modernize workloads while moving them.

• AWS Transform uses agentic AI to automatically analyze source code and generate Docker images
• Generates production-ready Infrastructure as Code for Amazon ECS or Amazon EKS deployment
• Performs automated security scanning to identify vulnerabilities before publishing images
• Supports multiple code repositories via AWS CodeConnections or zip file uploads
• Creates complete deployment documentation and supporting artifacts automatically
• Includes human-in-the-loop approval steps before publishing to Amazon ECR
• Can be used standalone or as part of full end-to-end migration projects
• Generates infrastructure including load balancers, logging, and secrets management

AWS Transform streamlines containerization during migration by automating the complex process of code analysis, Dockerfile creation, image building, and infrastructure provisioning, reducing time and expertise requirements.
