Assessment Phase

Generate a migration assessment report before any code changes.

Prerequisites

• Workspace contains source platform project files (Procfile, app.yaml, .ebextensions, etc.)
• Prompt user to upload relevant files if not present

Assessment Steps

1. Identify Application — Determine app type (web, API, worker), runtime, and framework
2. Map Platform Services — Map source services to Azure equivalents (see scenario-specific references)
3. Map Properties — Map compute config (instance size, scaling) to App Service Plan properties
4. Check Dependencies — List 3rd-party libraries and verify Azure compatibility
5. Analyze Code — Check for platform-specific APIs, SDKs, or patterns that need migration
6. Map Data Services — Identify database and storage migration paths
7. Map Deployment — Identify equivalent Azure deployment strategies (azd, GitHub Actions, Bicep)
8. Review CI/CD — Check pipeline compatibility with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions
9. Map Monitoring — Map observability stack → Application Insights / Azure Monitor

Code Preview

During assessment, show a sneak peek of key configuration changes:

• Startup command / Dockerfile adjustments
• App Settings mapping
• Database connection string migration (to managed identity)

This helps the user understand the migration scope before committing.

Architecture Diagrams

Generate two diagrams:

1. Current State — Source platform architecture with services and integrations
2. Target State — Azure architecture showing equivalent App Service structure

Assessment Report Format

⚠️ MANDATORY: Use these exact section headings in every assessment report. Do NOT rename, reorder, or omit sections.

The report MUST be saved as migration-assessment-report.md inside the output directory (<source-folder>-azure/).

## 13. Next Steps

- [ ] Review and approve this assessment report
- [ ] Proceed to code migration (azure-cloud-migrate Phase 2)
- [ ] Hand off to azure-prepare for IaC generation
