# Azure Cloud Migrate

> This skill handles **assessment and code migration** of existing cloud workloads 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_bestpractices` and `mcp_azure-mcp_documentation` MCP tools
5. Use the latest supported runtime for the target service
6. Destructive actions require `ask_user` — [global-rules](references/services/functions/global-rules.md)

## Migration Scenarios

The scenarios documented today are listed below. For other source platforms
(GCP, on-premises, etc.), call `mcp_azure-mcp_documentation` with
`command: "microsoft_docs_search"` to research the target Azure service and
adapt the AWS-Lambda assessment workflow as a template.

| Source     | Target          | Reference                                                                      |
| ---------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| AWS Lambda | Azure Functions | [lambda-to-functions.md](references/services/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

1. **Create** `<source-folder>-azure/` at workspace root
2. **Assess** — Analyze source, map services, generate report → [assessment.md](references/services/functions/assessment.md)
3. **Migrate** — Convert code using target programming model → [code-migration.md](references/services/functions/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).

## Reference Index

Load these on demand — do NOT read all at once:

| Reference                        | When to Load     |
