# 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

1. Follow phases sequentially — do not skip
2. Generate an assessment before any upgrade operations
3. Load the scenario reference and follow its rules
4. Use `mcp_azure_mcp_get_bestpractices` and `mcp_azure_mcp_documentation` MCP tools
5. Destructive actions require `ask_user` — [global-rules](references/global-rules.md)
6. Always confirm the target plan/SKU with the user before proceeding
7. Never delete or stop the original app without explicit user confirmation
8. 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](references/services/functions/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

1. **Identify** — Determine the source and target Azure plans/SKUs. Ask user to confirm.
2. **Assess** — Analyze existing app for upgrade readiness → load scenario reference (e.g., [consumption-to-flex.md](references/services/functions/consumption-to-flex.md))
3. **Pre-migrate** — Collect settings, identities, configs from the existing app
4. **Upgrade** — Execute the automated upgrade steps (create new resources, migrate settings, deploy code)
5. **Validate** — Hit the function app default URL to confirm the app is reachable, then verify endpoints and monitoring
6. **Ask User** — "Upgrade complete. Would you like to verify performance, clean up the old app, or update your IaC?"
7. **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.

- **Functions**
  - [Consumption to Flex Consumption](references/services/functions/consumption-to-flex.md)
  - [Assessment](references/services/functions/assessment.md)
  - [Automation Scripts](references/services/functions/automation.md)

## Next

After upgrade is validated, hand off to:
- `azure-validate` — for thorough post-upgrade validation
- `azure-deploy` — if the user wants to set up CI/CD for the new app
