Migrate Azure Firewall configurations to Azure Firewall policy using PowerShell
You can use an Azure PowerShell script to migrate existing Azure Firewall configurations to an Azure Firewall policy resource. You can then use Azure Firewall Manager to deploy the policy.
The AZFWMigrationScript.ps1 script creates a FirewallPolicy with three RuleCollectionGroup objects for ApplicationRuleCollections, NetworkRuleCollections, and NatRuleCollections respectively.
A RuleCollectionGroup is a new top-level grouping for rule collections for future extensibility. Using the above defaults is recommended and is done automatically from the Portal.
The beginning of the script defines the source firewall name and resource group and the target policy name and location. Change these values as appropriate for your organization.
Migration script
Modify the following script to migrate your firewall configuration.

# Hierarchy for NAT rule collection is different for AZFW and FirewallPolicy. In AZFW you can have a NatRuleCollection with multiple NatRules

# as part of NatRuleCollection.
# So when translating NAT rules we will have to create separate ruleCollection for each rule in AZFW and every ruleCollection will have only 1 rule.
