What it does
Apex Azure Cloud Migrate is an agent skill from jonathan-vella/apex. WORKFLOW SKILL — Assess and migrate cross-cloud workloads to Azure: assessments and code conversion from AWS, GCP, Heroku, Kubernetes or Spring. WHEN: "migrate Lambda to Azure Functions", "migrate AWS to Azure", "migrate Heroku to App Service", "migrate GKE to Container Apps", "migration readiness report". DO NOT USE FOR: greenfield deployment or Azure-only refactor (apex-azure-prepare).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 32 other files, including reference files (for example `references/services/app-service/app-engine-to-app-service.md`, `references/services/app-service/assessment.md` and `references/services/app-service/beanstalk-to-app-service.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Container orchestration. It works with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Azure Functions and Google Cloud. The repository describes itself as: APEX turns Azure platform engineering requirements into verified, deploy-ready IaC — powered by GitHub Copilot agents, real-time pricing, and built-in compliance. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : greenfield deployment
- Azure-only refactor (apex-azure-prepare)
Example prompts
- “migrate Lambda to Azure Functions”
- “migrate AWS to Azure”
- “migrate Heroku to App Service”
- “/apex-azure-cloud-migrate”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 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_azure_bestpractices (command 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
- Audit service discovery in app code — Kubernetes DNS names (for example http://order-service:3001) don't
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b8e5908. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Apex Azure Cloud Migrate loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~36k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md

Azure Cloud Migrate
This skill handles assessment and code migration of existing cloud workloads to Azure.
Workflow Routing
Resolve workflow identity and requested action first, per
apex-azure-validate.
This skill assesses and converts application code only. For an APEX project, return infrastructure work to the
current step owner through 01-Orchestrator; do not create .azure/plan.md or generate IaC here.
Assessment-only requests stop after the report.
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_azure_bestpractices(commandget_bestpractices) andmcp_azure-mcp_documentationMCP tools - Use the latest supported runtime for the target service
- Destructive actions require
ask_user— global-rules - Audit service discovery in app code — Kubernetes DNS names (for example
http://order-service:3001) don't resolve in Container Apps; flag hard-coded hostnames and ports for environment-variable URL injection
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 |
| AWS Elastic Beanstalk | Azure App Service | beanstalk-to-app-service.md |
| Heroku | Azure App Service | heroku-to-app-service.md |
| Google App Engine | Azure App Service | app-engine-to-app-service.md |
| AWS Fargate (ECS) | Azure Container Apps | fargate-to-container-apps.md |
| Kubernetes (GKE, EKS, self-hosted) | Azure Container Apps | k8s-to-container-apps.md |
| GCP Cloud Run | Azure Container Apps | cloudrun-to-container-apps.md |
| Spring Boot (Azure Spring Apps, VMs) | Azure Container Apps | spring-apps-to-aca.md |
App Service scenarios share assessment, code migration and global rules; Container Apps scenarios share the assessment guide.
No matching scenario? Use
mcp_azure-mcp_documentationandmcp_azure-mcp_get_azure_bestpracticestools.
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 apex-azure-prepare for infrastructure, testing, and deployment
Track progress in migration-status.md — see workflow-details.md.
