Azure Cloud Migrate

This skill handles assessment and code migration of existing cloud workloads to Azure.

Rules

  1. Follow phases sequentially — do not skip
  2. Generate assessment before any code migration
  3. Load the scenario reference and follow its rules
  4. Use mcp_azure_mcp_get_bestpractices and mcp_azure_mcp_documentation MCP tools
  5. Use the latest supported runtime for the target service
  6. Destructive actions require ask_user — global-rules

Migration Scenarios

Source Target Reference
AWS Lambda Azure Functions lambda-to-functions.md

No matching scenario? Use mcp_azure_mcp_documentation and mcp_azure_mcp_get_bestpractices tools.

Output Directory

All output goes to <source-folder>-azure/ at workspace root. Never modify the source directory.

Steps

  1. Create <source-folder>-azure/ at workspace root
  2. Assess — Analyze source, map services, generate report → assessment.md
  3. Migrate — Convert code using target programming model → code-migration.md
  4. Ask User — "Migration complete. Test locally or deploy to Azure?"
  5. Hand off to azure-prepare for infrastructure, testing, and deployment

Track progress in migration-status.md — see workflow-details.md.
