AWS Mainframe Modernization: Replatforming with Micro Focus

Legacy mainframe systems power critical business logic, but maintaining them on-premise is increasingly complex and costly. Replatforming to the cloud offers a powerful way to modernize your infrastructure without the risk of rewriting your entire codebase. This course provides a clear, text-based introduction to AWS Mainframe Modernization using Micro Focus tools. You will understand how to transition mainframe applications to AWS with minimal changes, preserving your core business logic while gaining the scalability, security, and flexibility of the cloud. What you'll learn: 1. Understand the fundamental concepts of mainframe modernization and the benefits of replatforming. 2. Explore the architecture of AWS Mainframe Modernization and how Micro Focus runtimes integrate with cloud services. 3. Learn how to configure the AWS environment for replatforming projects. 4. Discover how to map mainframe resources, datasets, and security definitions to AWS equivalents. 5. Apply modern DevOps practices, including basic CI/CD pipelines and containerization concepts, to migrated applications. 6. Analyze monitoring and observability strategies for replatformed applications in a cloud-native environment. We begin with foundational definitions of mainframe architectures and migration pathways. From there, you will read through step-by-step conceptual walkthroughs of setting up environments, deploying applications, and managing post-migration operations. This course is designed for IT professionals, cloud architects, system administrators, and developers who are new to mainframe migration. No prior mainframe experience is required, though a basic understanding of cloud concepts is helpful.
