Assess and upgrade Azure workloads between plans, tiers, or SKUs, or modernize Azure SDK dependencies in source code. WHEN: upgrade Consumption to Flex Consumption, upgrade Azure Functions plan, change hosting plan, function app SKU, migrate App Service to Container Apps, modernize legacy Azure Java SDKs (com.microsoft.azure to com.azure), migrate Azure Cache for Redis (ACR/ACRE) to Azure Managed Redis (AMR).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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. It also covers **Azure SDK for Java source-code modernization** (e.g. legacy Java `com.microsoft.azure.*` → modern `com.azure.*`). 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" | | Discover Functions upgrade candidates | "What Consumption Function Apps do I have that can be upgraded 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" | …

How to install
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/azure-upgrade@sha256:4ce381ed4ff0e57dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.0-placeholder, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
