AWS incorporated Blu Insights capabilities into the AWS Transform console to streamline mainframe refactoring projects alongside replatform and reimagine modernization patterns. This consolidation aims to simplify project initiation and management for mainframe customers.

Notably, the refactor service transitioned to a no-cost code transformation pricing model and removed the previous certification barriers, reducing friction for adoption. Self-paced training remains available to support skill development. The service is accessible in 18 AWS Regions, with fallback to AWS Mainframe Modernization console where needed.
