AWS Blu Insights is now AWS Transform for mainframe refactor

AWS Blu Insights capabilities are now available as part of AWS Transform, enabling customers to launch mainframe refactoring projects from the AWS Transform console. This launch unifies all three mainframe modernization patterns — refactor, replatform, and reimagine — within AWS Transform for mainframe. Code transformation is now offered at no cost, replacing the previous lines-of-code based pricing model. With this launch, you can access AWS Transform for mainframe refactor directly from the AWS Transform console using your existing AWS credentials. The mandatory three-level certification requirement to access the Transformation Center has been removed, lowering the friction to exploring refactor projects. Self-paced training content remains available within the application for those who want to build deeper knowledge. AWS Transform for mainframe refactor is available in 18 AWS Regions. In regions where AWS Transform for mainframe is not yet available, you can continue to access the service through the AWS Mainframe Modernization console. To get started, visit the AWS Transform for mainframe refactor user guide.

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio supports aggregated view of data lineage

Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio now provides an aggregated view of data lineage, displaying all jobs contributing to your dataset. The aggregated view gives you a complete picture of data transformations and dependencies across your entire lineage graph, helping you quickly identify all upstream sources and downstream consumers of your datasets. Previously, SageMaker Unified Studio showed the lineage graph as it existed at a specific point in time, which is useful for troubleshooting and investigating specific data processing events. The aggregated view now provides a complete picture of data transformations and dependencies across multiple levels of the lineage graph. You can use this view to understand the full scope of jobs impacting your datasets and to identify all upstream sources and downstream consumers. The aggregated view is available as the default lineage view in Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio for IdC-based domains. You can switch to the previous view by toggling the “display in event timestamp order” option. You can also query the lineage graph using the new QueryGraph API, which provides lineage node graphs with metadata and augmented business context. Aggregated view of lineage is available in all existing Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio regions. For detailed information on how to get started with lineage using these new features, refer to the documentation and API.
