Assessment: Functions Plan Upgrade
Generate an upgrade assessment report before any changes to Azure resources.
Prerequisites
- User has an existing Azure Functions app on a Consumption or other plan
- User has Azure CLI v2.77.0+ installed
- User has Owner or Contributor role in the target resource group
- The
resource-graphextension is installed (az extension add --name resource-graph)
Assessment Steps
- Identify Source App — Confirm the function app name, resource group, region, and current hosting plan
- Check Region Compatibility — Verify the target plan is available in the app's region
- Verify Language Stack — Confirm the app's runtime is supported on the target plan
- Verify Stack Version — Confirm the runtime version is supported on the target plan in the region
- Check Deployment Slots — Determine if slots are in use (Flex Consumption doesn't support slots)
- Check Certificates — Determine if TLS/SSL certificates are in use (not yet supported in Flex Consumption)
- Check Blob Triggers — Verify blob triggers use EventGrid source (container polling not supported in Flex Consumption)
- Assess Dependencies — Review upstream and downstream service dependencies and plan mitigation strategies
- Generate Report — Create
upgrade-assessment-report.md
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 upgrade-assessment-report.md in the workspace root.
# Upgrade Assessment Report

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **App Name** | <app-name> |
| **Resource Group** | <resource-group> |
| **Current Plan** | <current-plan (e.g., Consumption / Y1 Dynamic)> |
| **Target Plan** | <target-plan (e.g., Flex Consumption / FC1)> |
| **Region** | <region> |
| **Runtime** | <runtime and version> |
| **OS** | <Linux / Windows> |
| **Upgrade Readiness** | <Ready / Needs Attention / Blocked> |
| **Assessment Date** | <date> |
## 2. Compatibility Checks
| Check | Status | Details |

| Region supported | ✅ / ❌ | |
| Language stack supported | ✅ / ❌ | |
| Stack version supported | ✅ / ❌ | |
| No deployment slots | ✅ / ⚠️ | |
| No TLS/SSL certificates | ✅ / ⚠️ | |
| Blob triggers use EventGrid | ✅ / ⚠️ / N/A | |

## 3. App Settings Inventory
| Setting | Value | Migrate? | Notes |
|---------|-------|----------|-------|
| | | Yes / No / Convert | |
## 4. Managed Identities
| Type | Principal ID | Roles | Action |
|------|-------------|-------|--------|
| System-assigned | | | Recreate in new app |
| User-assigned | | | Reassign to new app |
## 5. Application Configurations
| Configuration | Current Value | Migrate? | Notes |

## 6. Trigger & Binding Analysis
| Function | Trigger Type | Source | Migration Risk | Mitigation |
|----------|-------------|--------|----------------|------------|
| | | | Low / Medium / High | |
## 7. Dependent Services
| Service | Dependency Type | Migration Risk | Mitigation Strategy |
|---------|----------------|----------------|---------------------|
| | Upstream / Downstream | | |
## 8. Blockers & Warnings
### Blockers (must fix before upgrade)
- [ ] <any blocking issues>
### Warnings (should address but not blocking)
- [ ] <any non-blocking concerns>
## 9. Recommendations
1. **Plan**: <recommended target plan>
2. **Auth**: <switch to Managed Identity if using connection strings>
3. **Monitoring**: <Application Insights configuration>
4. **Scaling**: <recommended instance count and concurrency settings>
## 10. Next Steps
- [ ] Review and approve this assessment
- [ ] Address any blockers listed above
- [ ] Proceed to automated upgrade (Phase 3-4)💡 Tip: Use
