AWS Transform Adds Capability for Kiro in Visual Studio Code

Amazon Web Services Transform is now available through developer tools, Kiro and Visual Studio Code, designed to help developers modernize applications more efficiently. The feature enables developers to analyze and transform existing codebases directly within the IDE, supporting tasks such as refactoring, migration and code updates. By integrating Kiro into Visual Studio Code, AWS aims to bring modernization workflows closer to where developers already build and manage applications. The new integration offers users the opportunity to build and iterate custom transformations and run any agent repeatedly across several repositories at once.

AWS said the capability is intended to reduce the complexity of updating legacy applications by automating parts of the transformation process. Developers can review and apply suggested changes within their development environment, improving productivity and consistency. Application modernization remains a priority for organizations managing legacy systems. AWS Transform supports deploying in all AWS commercial regions, with AWS Transform custom available in US East and Frankfurt.
