# Azure Cloud Migrate

> Assess and migrate cross-cloud workloads to Azure with assessment reports and code conversion, supporting Lambda to Functions, Beanstalk, Heroku, and App Engine to App Service, and Fargate, Kubernetes, Cloud Run, or Spring Boot to Container Apps. Use when the user asks to migrate Lambda to Functions, move from AWS or GCP to Azure, migrate Beanstalk, Heroku, or App Engine, convert Cloud Run or Fargate workloads, move ECS, GKE, or EKS to Container Apps, or plan a cross-cloud migration.

# Azure Cloud Migrate

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

## When to invoke

- "Migrate this AWS Lambda function to Azure Functions."
- "Move our Heroku or App Engine app to Azure App Service."
- "Convert this Cloud Run or Fargate workload to Container Apps."
- "Assess our cross-cloud workloads for migration 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_azure_bestpractices` and `mcp_azure_mcp_documentation` MCP tools
5. Use the latest supported runtime for the target service
6. Destructive actions require `ask_user` — [functions global-rules](references/services/functions/global-rules.md) | [app-service global-rules](references/services/app-service/global-rules.md)
7. **Report progress to user** — During long-running operations (deployments, image pushes), provide resource-level status updates so the user is never left waiting without feedback — see [workflow-details.md](references/workflow-details.md)
8. **Audit service discovery in app code** — Kubernetes DNS names (e.g., `http://order-service:3001`) do not resolve in Container Apps. During assessment, scan source code for hardcoded hostnames/ports in HTTP clients and flag them for env-var-driven URL injection

## Migration Scenarios

| Source | Target | Reference |
|--------|--------|-----------|
| AWS Lambda | Azure Functions | [lambda-to-functions.md](references/services/functions/lambda-to-functions.md) ([assessment](references/services/functions/assessment.md), [code-migration](references/services/functions/code-migration.md)) |
| AWS Elastic Beanstalk | Azure App Service | [beanstalk-to-app-service.md](references/services/app-service/beanstalk-to-app-service.md) |
| Heroku | Azure App Service | [heroku-to-app-service.md](references/services/app-service/heroku-to-app-service.md) |
| Google App Engine | Azure App Service | [app-engine-to-app-service.md](references/services/app-service/app-engine-to-app-service.md) |
| AWS Fargate (ECS) | Azure Container Apps | [fargate-to-container-apps.md](references/services/container-apps/fargate-to-container-apps.md) ([assessment](references/services/container-apps/fargate-assessment-guide.md), [deployment](references/services/container-apps/fargate-deployment-guide.md)) |
| Kubernetes (GKE/EKS/Self-hosted) | Azure Container Apps | [k8s-to-container-apps.md](references/services/container-apps/k8s-to-container-apps.md) |
| GCP Cloud Run | Azure Container Apps | [cloudrun-to-container-apps.md](references/services/container-apps/cloudrun-to-container-apps.md) |
| Spring Boot (Azure Spring Apps/VMs) | Azure Container Apps | [spring-apps-to-aca.md](references/services/container-apps/spring-apps-to-aca.md) |

> No matching scenario? Use `mcp_azure_mcp_documentation` and `mcp_azure_mcp_get_azure_bestpractices` tools.

## Output Directory

All output goes to `<workspace-root-basename>-azure/` at workspace root, where `<workspace-root-basename>` is the name of the top-level workspace directory itself (NOT a subdirectory within it). Never modify the source directory.

## Steps

1. **Create** `<workspace-root-basename>-azure/` at workspace root
2. **Assess** — Analyze source, map services, generate report using the scenario-specific assessment guide → [functions assessment](references/services/functions/assessment.md) | [app-service assessment](references/services/app-service/assessment.md)
3. **Migrate** — Convert code/config using the scenario-specific migration guide → [functions code-migration](references/services/functions/code-migration.md) | [app-service code-migration](references/services/app-service/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](references/workflow-details.md).

## Output template

```markdown
## Cloud migration result

**Status:** assessed | migrated | blocked
**Summary:** <one sentence covering scope and outcome>

### Details
Source platform, target Azure service, converted code, and remaining manual work.

### Validation
- <check performed>: <result and evidence>
```

## Quality gate

- [ ] An assessment report was produced before any code conversion.
- [ ] Hardcoded service discovery hostnames were identified and replaced.
- [ ] The output follows `## Output template` exactly.
- [ ] Every reported check was performed and its evidence is shown.
- [ ] Irreversible Azure actions were confirmed with the user first.
