AWS Mainframe Modernization
#232 · Level 4 · Operations and specialized areas · Migration and transferConcept
Section titled “Concept”AWS Mainframe Modernization helps bring apps that run on old mainframe computers (COBOL and so on) to AWS and modernize them. A mainframe is a huge, old-style computer used by large organizations, where core systems have run for decades. There are two paths here — run the app on AWS while keeping it almost the same (replatform), or convert the code to a modern language such as Java (refactor). It also provides a managed runtime environment for running the converted apps. Planning and testing tools are also part of it.
