AWS Unveils Transform Updates And Lambda Managed Instances
At AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas this week, Amazon announced updates to AWS Transform and introduced Lambda Managed Instances. Transform adds custom agentic transformation capabilities, including SQL Server to Aurora PostgreSQL migrations and prebuilt patterns, claiming up to 5x faster modernization across hundreds or thousands of applications. Lambda Managed Instances let customers run Lambda functions on EC2 with managed lifecycle, shared execution environments, and reduced compute consumption for steady workloads.
Key Points
- 1Adds custom agentic transformations to AWS Transform, enabling cross-language modernization and SQL Server to Aurora PostgreSQL migrations.
- 2Accelerates large-scale application modernization up to 5x by using repeatable, feedback-driven agents across hundreds of apps.
- 3Enables practitioners to run Lambda on EC2 with managed lifecycle and shared concurrency for cost efficiency.
