What's new
AWS Transform for Migrations has broadened its reach, now allowing users to select any AWS commercial region as a target for their migrations. This expansion includes regions like US East (N. California), Africa (Cape Town), and various Asia Pacific, Canada, Europe, Mexico, and Middle East locations. Previously, the list of supported target regions was more limited.
Why it matters
This is a significant quality-of-life improvement for organizations with global footprints or strict data sovereignty needs. Being able to deploy migrated infrastructure, including landing zones and rehosted servers, into any commercial AWS region directly through the Transform tool eliminates manual workarounds and simplifies compliance. It means less friction when architecting for regional availability, disaster recovery, or specific user proximity, all while staying within regulatory boundaries.
How to use it
Select your desired target region directly within the AWS Transform for Migrations workflow.
