Designing an architecture for your mainframe workloads
summary
Overview of a practical migration path: AWS describes a managed Mainframe Modernization service that automates analysis (AppStream-based analyzer), provides a developer/runtime (EC2-hosted Micro Focus runtime) and a CI/CD pipeline, and supports Micro Focus replatforming (COBOL recompile to run on distributed servers) and Blu Age refactoring (automated COBOL→Java, JCL→Groovy, BMS→Angular). Default datastore is RDS/Aurora but CDC or batch replication patterns are supported, multi‑AZ/replica DR options are covered, licensing and Micro Focus runtime costs bundle into the service, and service is in preview with GA planned.
