Virtual SPARC environments are now available on the AWS Cloud. With this new capability, customers can migrate and rehost applications running on legacy SPARC systems. The lift-and-shift migration of applications from SPARC machines to virtual SPARC-compatible execution environments on the AWS Cloud enables sunsetting of legacy hardware without any change to the applications, and with minimal recertification or retraining. Once on the AWS Cloud, the applications can benefit from elastic on-demand resources with flexible pay-as-you-go pricing.ENnbsp;Such rehosting of applications on virtual SPARC environments can help accelerate modernization timelines, reduce operating costs, and improve resilience.

California, Oregon), Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Hyderabad, Jakarta, Melbourne, Mumbai, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Milan, Paris, Spain, Stockholm, Zurich), Middle East (Bahrain, UAE), South America (São Paulo), and AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West).
