AWS transform documentation change

Service: transform · 2026-04-22 · Documentation low

File: transform/latest/userguide/vmware-jobs.md

Summary

Updated VMware migration job documentation with revised workflow steps, new job type categories, updated terminology, and corrected hyperlinks for target account connections.

Security assessment

This change reorganizes migration workflow documentation and updates terminology (e.g., 'Generate VPC configuration' to 'Connect target accounts', 'Generate wave plan' to 'Build migration plan'). While migration workflows can have security implications, this change appears to be a routine documentation update reflecting product feature changes rather than addressing specific security issues. No security vulnerabilities or weaknesses are mentioned.

-Even though the AWS Region where you can create jobs and store discovery data and recommendations is determined by your AWS Transform administrator, you can specify a different AWS Region as your target for the migration. In other words, you can run discovery and receive AWS Transform recommendations in one AWS Region, but then create your target environment in a different AWS Region. If you do that, you will be transferring your data across AWS Regions. For more information, see [AWS account connectors for VMware migrations](./transform-app-vmware-acct-connections.html).
