README

Excerpt

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.
