Assess and upgrade Azure workloads between plans, tiers, or SKUs within Azure. Generates assessment reports and automates upgrade steps. WHEN: upgrade Consumption to Flex Consumption, upgrade Azure Functions plan, migrate hosting plan, upgrade Functions SKU, move to Flex Consumption, upgrade Azure service tier, change hosting plan, upgrade function app plan, migrate App Service to Container Apps.
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-migratefor that.
