/azure-upgrade

@36a90f7 official

Assess and upgrade Azure workloads between plans, tiers, or SKUs, or modernize Azure SDK dependencies in source code. WHEN: upgrade Consumption to Flex Consumption, upgrade Azure Functions plan, change hosting plan, function app SKU, migrate App Service to Container Apps, modernize legacy Azure Java SDKs (com.microsoft.azure to com.azure), migrate Azure Cache for Redis (ACR/ACRE) to Azure Managed Redis (AMR).

BOM Migration — Gradle TOML Version Catalog (libs.versions.toml)

OpenRewrite does not yet support TOML version catalogs (openrewrite/rewrite#4400). Handle manually.

Check for gradle/libs.versions.toml. If it exists and contains Azure entries, apply these steps. Always update build.gradle / build.gradle.kts references in tandem.

Use TARGET_AZURE_SDK_BOM_VERSION resolved in the workflow. Do not keep an existing TOML BOM version unless it exactly matches that value.

💡 Tip: TOML alias azure-sdk-bom becomes accessor libs.azure.sdk.bom (hyphens→dots). CamelCase azureSdkBom becomes libs.azureSdkBom. Match the project's existing convention.

Step 1 — Add or upgrade the BOM

In gradle/libs.versions.toml:

[versions]
azureSdkBom = "{bom_version}"

[libraries]
azure-sdk-bom = { group = "com.azure", name = "azure-sdk-bom", version.ref = "azureSdkBom" }

In build.gradle (Groovy DSL):

implementation enforcedPlatform(libs.azure.sdk.bom)

In build.gradle.kts (Kotlin DSL):

implementation(enforcedPlatform(libs.azure.sdk.bom))

Step 2 — Remove explicit versions from BOM-managed libraries

For each com.azure.* library in [libraries] that the BOM manages, drop version.ref / version and remove orphaned [versions] entries.

# Before
[versions]
azureIdentity = "1.15.0"
[libraries]
azureIdentity = { group = "com.azure", name = "azure-identity", version.ref = "azureIdentity" }

# After
[libraries]
azureIdentity = { group = "com.azure", name = "azure-identity" }

Step 3 — Replace legacy entries with modern equivalents

For each com.microsoft.azure.* library: replace group/name with the modern com.azure.* equivalent, drop version.ref/version if BOM-managed, remove orphaned [versions] entries, and update alias references in build.gradle and [bundles].

# Before
[versions]
azureSdk = "1.41.4"
azureStorage = "8.6.6"
[libraries]
azure = { group = "com.microsoft.azure", name = "azure", version.ref = "azureSdk" }
azureStorage = { group = "com.microsoft.azure", name = "azure-storage", version.ref = "azureStorage" }

# After (BOM-managed)
[libraries]
azureResourcemanager = { group = "com.azure.resourcemanager", name = "azure-resourcemanager" }
azureStorageBlob = { group = "com.azure", name = "azure-storage-blob" }

Update build.gradle and [bundles] to use the new aliases.

TOML patterns to recognise

Libraries may use any of these forms — handle all of them:

lib = { group = "g", name = "a", version.ref = "v" }
lib = { module = "g:a", version.ref = "v" }
lib = { module = "g:a", version = "1.0" }
lib = { group = "g", name = "a", version = { strictly = "1.0" } }

README badge for microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/azure-upgrade

Assesses and automates Azure workload upgrades across plans, tiers, and SKUs—such as Functions Consumption to Flex Consumption, App Service to Container Apps, or Redis migrations to Azure Managed Redis. Also modernizes legacy Azure Java SDK dependencies (com.microsoft.azure to com.azure) in source code. Includes readiness checks, configuration migration, and validation steps.

Generated from the current SKILL.md.

Does this skill handle cross-cloud migration?
No. This skill is for Azure-to-Azure upgrades only (plan changes, SKU swaps, service migrations within Azure). For cross-cloud migration, use the `azure-cloud-migrate` skill.
What Azure upgrades does this skill cover?
It handles Azure Functions plan upgrades (Consumption to Flex Consumption), hosting tier changes, App Service to Container Apps migration, Redis cache upgrades (ACR/ACRE to Azure Managed Redis), and legacy Azure Java SDK modernization (com.microsoft.azure to com.azure).
Will this skill delete my existing app without asking?
No. The skill requires explicit user confirmation before stopping or deleting the original app. All destructive actions trigger a confirmation prompt.
Does this skill support Java SDK modernization?
Yes. It handles source-code modernization from legacy Azure Java SDKs (com.microsoft.azure.*) to modern ones (com.azure.*).
What happens after the upgrade is complete?
The skill asks whether you want to verify performance, clean up the old app, or update your infrastructure-as-code. You can then hand off to `azure-validate` for deep validation or `azure-deploy` for CI/CD setup.
