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).

Upgrade Strategy

  • Incremental upgrades: Stepwise dependency upgrades to avoid large jumps breaking builds.
  • Minimal changes: Only upgrade dependencies essential for compatibility with the modern Azure SDKs.
  • Risk-first: Handle EOL/challenging deps early in isolated steps.
  • Necessary/Meaningful steps only: Each step MUST change code/config. NO steps for pure analysis/validation. Merge small related changes. Test: "Does this step modify project files?"
  • Automation tools: Use automation tools like OpenRewrite for efficiency; always verify output. For BOM upgrades, run the scripts/upgrade_bom.py script in the parent folder when Python 3.10+ is available; if Python is not available or the script fails, manually resolve the BOM version and follow the Manual Fallback sections in bom-maven.md / bom-gradle.md instead (see Migration Guidelines).
  • Successor preference: Compatible successor > Adapter pattern > Code rewrite.
  • Build tool compatibility: Check Maven/Gradle version compatibility with the project's JDK. Upgrade the build tool (including wrapper) if the current version does not support the JDK.
  • Temporary errors OK: Steps may pass with known errors if resolved later or pre-existing.

What it does

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.

Frequently asked

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.
