The AWS Mainframe Modernization service is a unique platform that you use to migrate and modernize your on-premises mainframe applications to a cloud-native fully managed runtime environment on the AWS Cloud. It is a set of managed tools that provide infrastructure and software for migrating, modernizing, and running mainframe applications.

DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity. The goal of DevOps is to evolve and improve products at a faster pace than using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. Because of this speed, your organization can better serve your customers and compete more effectively in the market.
