AWS Transform for migrations expands support for existing landing zones

AWS Transform Release Notes

AWS Transform now supports more types of existing AWS environments when building landing zones for your migration, including AWS Control Tower landing zones and landing zones built with AWS Organizations. AWS Transform runs a foundation gap analysis of your current environment against AWS best practices and expands your landing zone on top of what's already in your target accounts, so your team can start migrating sooner.

AWS Transform also now supports an Infrastructure as Code (IaC)-only mode for building landing zones for your migration. In this mode, AWS Transform analyzes your organization, generates recommendations, and produces IaC tailored to your migration plan in AWS CDK, Terraform, or Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA) format. IaC-only mode is designed for organizations that prefer not to grant AWS Transform direct access to their management account. AWS Transform can now connect through a delegated administrator (DA) account instead. It also benefits customers who manage their own deployment pipeline and don't need the agent to deploy automatically.

The AWS Transform for migrations landing zone agent automates landing zone design end to end, including foundation setup, organizational unit (OU) and account structure, service control policies (SCPs), and workload accounts aligned to your migration planning and waves. You can deploy directly or generate IaC for your own pipeline.

What to do

• Review the new capabilities and update your migration plans accordingly.
• Explore the IaC-only mode if you prefer managing your own deployment pipeline.
• Check the AWS Transform User Guide for detailed instructions.

These new capabilities are available in all target AWS Regions supported by AWS Transform for migrations.
