GitHub Copilot tooling for app modernization and migration in Azure Container Apps

GitHub Copilot app modernization tooling streamlines end‑to‑end modernization of existing Java and .NET applications. Analysis includes assessing codebases, planning required upgrades, automating framework and dependency changes, validating builds and tests, and generating deployment assets.

Using a phased workflow (assess, plan, transform, validate, deploy), you get the following benefits when using Azure Container Apps to modernize your applications:

  • Scalability: Container Apps automatically scales applications based on HTTP traffic, events, or custom metrics, ensuring optimal resource utilization.

  • Flexibility: Run any containerized workload without the operational overhead of managing Kubernetes clusters.

  • Cost Efficiency: Benefit from a pay-as-you-go model with granular scaling, reducing infrastructure costs.

  • AI-Assisted Migration: Accelerate modernization with GitHub Copilot-powered workflows that streamline code upgrades and migration tasks.

GitHub Copilot tooling

GitHub Copilot app modernization features AI-powered agents that analyze, upgrade, and migrate Java and .NET applications to Azure. These agents automate complex tasks such as version upgrades, dependency analysis, and cloud-specific code transformations. They help maintain code quality and build integrity throughout the modernization process.

Core capabilities

These core capabilities create an AI-powered workflow that automates key steps in app modernization. They help you upgrade faster, improve reliability, and ensure security and cloud readiness.

  • Application assessment and planning: Analyze your application's current state, identify dependencies and outdated libraries, and generate actionable modernization plans.

  • Automated code transformations: Upgrade Java or .NET frameworks, migrate to Azure, and apply learned code fixes across multiple codebases.

  • Security and build validation: Address Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), migrate unit tests, and ensure successful builds with automated test validations.

  • Containerization and deployment: Generate assets for containerization, create Infrastructure as Code files for Azure deployment, and resolve deployment errors automatically.

Modernization workflow for Java and .NET applications

The app modernization tooling is built on GitHub Copilot agent mode and features predefined tasks for common upgrade and migration scenarios that incorporate Azure best practices. The workflow includes:

  1. Assessment: Diagnose legacy applications and generate a comprehensive assessment report.

  2. Planning: Receive prescriptive guidance for modernization and migration.

  3. Transformation: Apply automated code upgrades and security fixes.

  4. Validation: Ensure build and test integrity throughout the process.

  5. Deployment: Containerize and deploy applications to Azure Container Apps with Infrastructure as Code assets.
