AWS Transform for migrations introduced multiple pathways for customers moving networks to AWS, including building new networks aligned to AWS best practices and converting existing on-premises access rules into modernized security groups. This conversion process detects stale rules, recommends optimizations, and deploys security groups within existing VPCs without redeploying the entire network stack.

The service supports migration to all AWS commercial and GovCloud Regions, aiming to deliver secure, scalable network foundations by avoiding the transfer of accumulated legacy rules as-is. Vendor claims emphasize improved security and manageability, though independent verification details are not provided.
