What does Azure Cloud Migrate do?

It assesses cross-cloud workloads and migrates them to the Azure target model, generating an assessment and performing code conversion.

Which sources are supported for migration?

The skill supports AWS, GCP, and other cloud providers, with a primary scenario for AWS Lambda to Azure Functions.

Are destructive actions allowed without confirmation?

No. Destructive actions require explicit user confirmation (ask_user) per global rules.

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_bestpractices and mcp_azure_mcp_documentation MCP tools
Use the latest supported runtime for the target service
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

Create <source-folder>-azure/ at workspace root
Assess — Analyze source, map services, generate report → assessment.md
Migrate — Convert code using target programming model → code-migration.md
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.

Overview

Azure Cloud Migrate automates assessment and code conversion when moving workloads from AWS, GCP, or other clouds to Azure. It generates an assessment report and translates source code to Azure services, following a defined migration workflow.

How This Skill Works

The process runs in phases: assess the source workloads, then migrate code to the Azure target model. It loads the migration scenario reference and uses MCP tools (mcp_azure_mcp_get_bestpractices, mcp_azure_mcp_documentation) to guide the conversion, outputting results to <source-folder>-azure/ and tracking progress in migration-status.md. Destructive actions require user confirmation per global rules.

When to Use It

migrate Lambda to Azure Functions
migrate AWS to Azure
Lambda migration assessment
convert AWS serverless to Azure
cross-cloud migration

Quick Start

Step 1: Create <source-folder>-azure/ at workspace root
Step 2: Run Assess to generate assessment.md and map services
Step 3: Migrate code to Azure target model and review migration-status.md

Best Practices

Follow the migration phases sequentially (assess, then migrate)
Generate an assessment report before any code migration
Load the scenario reference and follow its rules
Use mcp_azure_mcp_get_bestpractices and mcp_azure_mcp_documentation MCP tools
Use the latest supported runtime for the target service

Example Use Cases

Migrate AWS Lambda-based API to Azure Functions with an upfront assessment
Assess a GCP-based data pipeline for Azure migration and convert code
Convert AWS serverless workloads to Azure Functions while mapping services
Prepare an Azure migration readiness report for cross-cloud workloads
Execute a full AWS-to-Azure cross-cloud migration with code migration
