AWS extended its Transform service to support automatic containerization of source code during migration to the cloud, integrating this into existing migration workflows. It supports multiple source repositories and packaging methods to generate Docker images published to Amazon ECR and deployable on Amazon ECS or EKS.

The service automates generation of deployment infrastructure code, security scanning of container images, and supports complex repo structures and private dependencies. This allows migration teams to efficiently replatform applications as containers, improving speed and reducing complexity in moving to cloud-native architectures. The capability is broadly available in AWS regions offering AWS Transform.
