Legacy non-x86 modernization with
summary
Claim: non-x86 legacy platforms can move to AWS with measurable results. Options include hardware emulation (lift‑and‑shift, one mining firm moves a DEC Alpha app in two weeks), middleware emulation (recompile and retest, ~1 year projects), and automated refactoring (2 million lines of COBOL → Java, 70% cost cut and CI/CD enabled). Augmentation uses replication and analytics (EMR → Redshift) or new APIs using DynamoDB + Lambda + API Gateway. Use complex POCs to validate performance and tools.
