The AWS CodeFamily is a suite of tools designed to streamline application development, build, and deployment processes. It includes services like AWS CodeCommit for source control, AWS CodeBuild for compiling and testing code, AWS CodeDeploy for automating deployments, and AWS CodePipeline for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). These tools enable developers to collaborate, automate workflows, and deliver software faster with integrated security and scalability.

AWS Cloud Migration and Modernization services help organizations move applications to the cloud and transform them to leverage cloud-native capabilities. Using tools like AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) and the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), businesses can rehost (lift-and-shift), replatform, or refactor applications to reduce costs, improve agility, and enhance scalability. Modernization pathways include adopting serverless, containers, or managed services like Amazon RDS to optimize performance and innovation.
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) enables seamless migration of databases to AWS with minimal downtime, supporting both homogeneous (e.g., Oracle to Oracle) and heterogeneous (e.g., Oracle to Amazon Aurora) migrations. It includes schema conversion, data replication, and performance optimization features, making it ideal for modernizing database workloads to managed services like Amazon RDS or DynamoDB for scalability and cost efficiency.

AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) simplifies and accelerates the migration of applications from on-premises, virtual, or other cloud environments to AWS with minimal disruption. It uses continuous block-level replication to ensure data consistency and supports cutover windows measured in minutes. MGN is ideal for migrating legacy applications, such as SAP or Oracle, and can integrate with modernization strategies like containerization or serverless.

AWS supports hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, enabling applications to run seamlessly across on-premises, AWS, and other cloud environments. Services like AWS Outposts, AWS Direct Connect, and VMware Cloud on AWS allow organizations to maintain data residency, integrate legacy systems, and ensure resilience. These architectures support used cases like disaster recovery, data replication, and multi-region deployments for scalability and continuity.

Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS) is a managed service that enables rapid migration and operation of VMware workloads on AWS. It combines VMware Cloud Foundation with AWS’s global infrastructure, supporting rehosting of virtual machines to Amazon EC2 with minimal changes. EVS integrates with AWS native services like analytics, serverless, and generative AI, making it ideal for organizations modernizing VMware-based applications while leveraging existing skills.
