AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
Azure Cloud Migrate provides a structured, multi-phase workflow for transitioning applications from various cloud platforms to Azure. It focuses on assessing the current architecture, mapping services to Azure equivalents, and performing the necessary code and configuration conversions. The skill ensures a methodical approach by requiring an assessment report before any migration actions occur, and it provides specific guidance for common migration paths such as AWS Lambda to Azure Functions, Heroku to App Service, and Kubernetes to Container Apps.
What it does
- Generates comprehensive migration assessment reports for cross-cloud workloads.
- Maps source platform services, compute configurations, and dependencies to Azure equivalents.
- Provides guidance for converting application code and configuration files.
- Audits source code for platform-specific service discovery patterns.
- Creates architecture diagrams for both current and target states.
- Tracks migration progress and provides resource-level status updates.
When to use it
- When planning to migrate workloads from AWS Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, or Fargate to Azure.
- When moving applications from Heroku or Google App Engine to Azure App Service.
- When transitioning Kubernetes or Cloud Run deployments to Azure Container Apps.
- When you need a structured assessment of migration readiness and effort.
Advantages
- Ensures a consistent, step-by-step migration process.
- Reduces risk by requiring a detailed assessment report before code changes.
- Provides clear mapping between source platform features and Azure services.
- Includes specific checks for common migration pitfalls like hardcoded service discovery.
Usage examples
- “Assess my current AWS Lambda project for migration to Azure Functions.”
- The agent will analyze the Lambda project, map the services to Azure Functions, and generate a migration assessment report in the output directory.
- “Migrate my Heroku application to Azure App Service.”
- The agent will perform an assessment, guide the conversion of configuration files, and assist in setting up the application for Azure App Service.

Azure Cloud Migrate
This skill handles assessment and code migration of existing cloud workloads to Azure.
Rules
Follow phases sequentially — do not skip
Generate assessment before any code migration
Load the scenario reference and follow its rules
Use
mcp_azure_mcp_get_azure_bestpracticesandmcp_azure_mcp_documentationMCP toolsUse the latest supported runtime for the target service
Destructive actions require
ask_user— functions global-rules | app-service global-rulesReport 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
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 (assessment, code-migration) |
| AWS Elastic Beanstalk | Azure App Service | beanstalk-to-app-service.md |
| Heroku | Azure App Service | heroku-to-app-service.md |
| Google App Engine | Azure App Service | app-engine-to-app-service.md |
| AWS Fargate (ECS) | Azure Container Apps | fargate-to-container-apps.md (assessment, deployment) |
| Kubernetes (GKE/EKS/Self-hosted) | Azure Container Apps | k8s-to-container-apps.md |
| GCP Cloud Run | Azure Container Apps | cloudrun-to-container-apps.md |
| Spring Boot (Azure Spring Apps/VMs) | Azure Container Apps | spring-apps-to-aca.md |
No matching scenario? Use
mcp_azure_mcp_documentationandmcp_azure_mcp_get_azure_bestpracticestools.
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
Create
<workspace-root-basename>-azure/at workspace rootAssess — Analyze source, map services, generate report using the scenario-specific assessment guide → functions assessment | app-service assessment
Migrate — Convert code/config using the scenario-specific migration guide → functions code-migration | app-service code-migration
Ask User — "Migration complete. Test locally or deploy to Azure?"
Hand off to azure-prepare for infrastructure, testing, and deployment
Track progress in migration-status.md — see workflow-details.md.

Assessment: Fargate to Container Apps
Checklist
1. Container Configuration
CPU/Memory: Extract from task definition and verify the requested CPU/memory fits within Azure Container Apps limits for the target environment/region
Container Images: Registry location (ECR), image size, base image
Port Mappings: Exposed ports and protocols
2. Environment & Secrets
Static configuration values (env vars)
Secret references: Secrets Manager ARNs → Key Vault URLs with managed identity
Parameter Store references → App Configuration or Key Vault
Service discovery endpoints
3. Networking
VPC subnets (public vs private) → VNet integration
Security groups → NSG rules
Load balancer type (ALB/NLB) → Container Apps ingress (built-in HTTPS)
Health check configuration and SSL/TLS certificates
4. IAM & Security
Task role policies → Managed Identity + Azure RBAC
ECR pull permissions → ACR role assignment (AcrPull)
Secrets Manager access → Key Vault RBAC (recommended) or access policies for vaults still using access-policy mode
5. Dependencies
Databases: RDS → Azure Database for PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQL
Cache: ElastiCache → Azure Cache for Redis
Storage: S3 → Azure Blob Storage (SDK: boto3 → azure-storage-blob)
Messaging: SQS/SNS → Service Bus / Event Grid
Monitoring: CloudWatch → Azure Monitor / Log Analytics (requires Log Analytics workspace on Container Apps environment)
6. Scaling & Performance
Auto scaling policies (target tracking, min/max tasks)
Request rate and latency requirements
Actual CPU/memory usage vs allocation
Resource Mapping
| ECS Task Definition | Container Apps Equivalent |
|---|---|
cpu: "512" (0.5 vCPU) | cpu: 0.5 |
memory: "1024" (MB) | memory: 1Gi |
containerPort | ingress.targetPort |
environment | env array |
secrets (Secrets Manager ARN) | secrets with keyVaultUrl + identity |
logConfiguration (awslogs) | Log Analytics (requires workspace on environment) |
| Service Auto Scaling | scale.rules (HTTP/CPU/memory/custom) |
Complexity Rating
Low: Single container, no VPC, standard env vars, public ingress
Medium: Multiple containers, VPC with private connectivity, secrets, custom IAM
High: Multi-service dependencies, VPN/Direct Connect, cross-account IAM, stateful workloads
