AWS Transform, a platform designed to compress enterprise IT modernization timelines, has added support via extensions for Kiro and Visual Studio Code. These integrations allow developers to run custom code transformations to upgrade SDKs, languages, and frameworks directly within popular development environments.

The updates facilitate consistent execution of transformations across thousands of repositories, improve context sharing, and complement existing tooling like the AWS Transform web console and CLI. AWS Transform custom transformations help reduce technical debt and accelerate migrations at scale in regions including US East (N. Virginia) and Europe (Frankfurt).
