You can complete the previous steps in the Blu Insights tool, available through single sign-on from the AWS Mainframe Modernization console. For more information on Blu Insights, see the Blu Insights documentation.

When you are satisfied with the transformed source code, it’s time to move to AWS, where you will complete the following steps:

  • Build and deploy the refactored application.

  • Deploy and monitor your application in AWS Mainframe Modernization.

AWS Blu Age offers various runtime options to suit different deployment scenarios and operational preferences. These include managed and non-managed runtimes, each with its own set of features and deployment targets.
