AWS Brings the Heat: Blowing Up Technical Debt and Targeting Legacy Workloads
Experience AWS re:Invent from the front lines. In this HyperFRAME field report, we break down AWS’s bold message as they literally blow up legacy workloads to promote their Transform service.
From mainframes and VMware to .NET applications, AWS is pushing hard to move technical debt into the cloud — backed by promises of ROI, TCO savings, and increased flexibility. But should every workload make the jump? Steven shares a pragmatic view on workload placement, non-functional requirements, and why not everything belongs in the public cloud.
Whether you're in modernization, cloud architecture, or enterprise transformation, this breakdown gives you the insight you need to navigate AWS’s latest push.
AWS Reinvents Multicloud Connectivity: A New Standard for Interconnects
In this HyperFRAME Podcast episode, host Steven Dickens sits down with Robert Kennedy, Vice President of Network Services at AWS, and Anoop Dawani, Director of Product Management at AWS, to break down one of the most transformative networking announcements in recent years.
AWS has introduced a fully managed Interconnect service that allows customers to establish high-speed, private, resilient connectivity between AWS and other major cloud providers—through a simple API call. No more physical circuits, cross-connects, manual BGP setup, or multi-team coordination taking weeks or months.
We explore how this model redefines multicloud networking, how fixed-bandwidth pricing improves cost predictability, how last-mile integration with telcos will evolve, and what the future of any-to-any cloud and on-prem connectivity looks like.
