Modernizing legacy .NET Framewok applications isn’t just a technical upgrade anymore, it’s about staying competitive. At Kloia, we make this transition faster and smoother with tools like AWS Porting Assistant, which scans your .NET Framework apps for compatibility issues, generates actionable reports, and speeds up migration to modern .NET on Linux.
Depending on your needs, we may recommend moving to modern .NET, porting legacy UI workloads with Mono or Blazor, or splitting a large monolith into manageable microservices. Whichever path you choose, the benefits are clear:
Modernizing legacy .NET Framework applications is no longer optional, it’s essential for enterprises aiming for agility, scalability, and cost efficiency in the cloud. While strategy and expertise are vital, the right tools dramatically accelerate the journey. At Kloia, we leverage AWS Transform and vFunction, two industry-leading modernization accelerators, to ensure seamless migration, automated refactoring, and successful transition to modern cloud architectures.
• Faster Assessments: Automatically detect dependencies and outdated APIs.
• Lower Risk: Decompose monoliths into logical domains for phased modernization.
• Cost & Performance Gains: Migrate to Linux, containers, and Graviton-powered environments for significant savings.
• Repeatability: AI-driven workflows ensure consistent modernization outcomes.
AWS Transform automates the analysis, refactoring, decomposition, validation, and planning of large .NET estates. With agentic AI, it reduces manual effort and accelerates migration to AWS while improving scalability, security, and performance.
Highlights: Automated code analysis & refactoring, Domain-based decomposition, Validation & modernization planning, Faster migration to AWS cloud
vFunction is an AI-powered modernization platform that identifies architectural bottlenecks, prioritizes technical debt, and extracts services from monoliths. It enables organizations to transform Java & .NET applications into scalable, cloud-native microservices.
Highlights: AI-driven architectural observability, Monolith-to-microservices extraction, Technical debt discovery & prioritization, Cloud-native readiness for .NET
With Amazon Q Developer transformation capabilities for .NET, we were able to reduce the transformation efforts and estimate we can save about 40% of the costs by modernizing the .NET Framework applications into cross-platform .NET and running them on Linux. With AWS Graviton-based processors, this figure may decrease by an additional 10%. I'm excited to see continued innovation as AWS build on this strong foundation to support even more use cases.

The primary goal is to transform legacy .NET Framework applications into cloud-native, scalable, and cost-efficient systems. This involves improving performance, reducing licensing costs, and ensuring long-term flexibility across Windows, Linux, and Kubernetes environments.
AWS Transform automates assessment, refactoring, and decomposition using AI, while vFunction enables architectural observability, identifies technical debt, and extracts services from monoliths into microservices. Together, they reduce risk and shorten project timelines.
AWS Porting Assistant is ideal when migrating from legacy .NET Framework to modern .NET on Linux. It scans applications for compatibility issues, generates actionable reports, and accelerates adoption of modern runtimes and cloud-native platforms.
Organizations typically achieve cost savings by eliminating Windows licensing, performance improvements from leaner runtimes, agility through microservices, and resilience with container orchestration and serverless capabilities.
