Azure Upgrade

This skill handles assessment and automated upgrades of existing Azure workloads from one Azure service, hosting plan, or SKU to another — all within Azure. This includes plan/tier upgrades (e.g. Consumption → Flex Consumption), cross-service migrations (e.g. App Service → Container Apps), and SKU changes. This is NOT for cross-cloud migration — use
azure-cloud-migrate
for that.

Triggers

User Intent	Example Prompts
Upgrade Azure Functions plan	"Upgrade my function app from Consumption to Flex Consumption"
Change hosting tier	"Move my function app to a better plan"
Assess upgrade readiness	"Is my function app ready for Flex Consumption?"
Automate plan migration	"Automate the steps to upgrade my Functions plan"

Rules

Follow phases sequentially — do not skip
Generate an assessment before any upgrade operations
Load the scenario reference and follow its rules

Use

mcp_azure_mcp_get_bestpractices

and

mcp_azure_mcp_documentation

MCP tools

Destructive actions require
```
ask_user
```
— global-rules
Always confirm the target plan/SKU with the user before proceeding
Never delete or stop the original app without explicit user confirmation
All automation scripts must be idempotent and resumable

Upgrade Scenarios

Source	Target	Reference
Azure Functions Consumption Plan	Azure Functions Flex Consumption Plan	consumption-to-flex.md

No matching scenario? Use
mcp_azure_mcp_documentation
and
mcp_azure_mcp_get_bestpractices
tools to research the upgrade path.

MCP Tools

Tool	Purpose
`mcp_azure_mcp_get_bestpractices`	Get Azure best practices for the target service
`mcp_azure_mcp_documentation`	Look up Azure documentation for upgrade scenarios
`mcp_azure_mcp_appservice`	Query App Service and Functions plan details
`mcp_azure_mcp_applicationinsights`	Verify monitoring configuration

Steps

Identify — Determine the source and target Azure plans/SKUs. Ask user to confirm.
Assess — Analyze existing app for upgrade readiness → load scenario reference (e.g., consumption-to-flex.md)
Pre-migrate — Collect settings, identities, configs from the existing app
Upgrade — Execute the automated upgrade steps (create new resources, migrate settings, deploy code)
Validate — Hit the function app default URL to confirm the app is reachable, then verify endpoints and monitoring
Ask User — "Upgrade complete. Would you like to verify performance, clean up the old app, or update your IaC?"
Hand off to
```
azure-validate
```
for deep validation or
```
azure-deploy
```
for CI/CD setup

Track progress in

upgrade-status.md

inside the workspace root.
