# Azure Upgrade

Assessment and automated upgrades of Azure workloads between plans, tiers, or SKUs. Handles migrations like moving from Consumption to Flex Consumption plans and cross-service transitions.

## When to Use

Trigger this skill when users say:
- "Upgrade my function app from Consumption to Flex Consumption"
- "Is my function app ready for Flex Consumption?"
- "Automate the steps to upgrade my Functions plan"

## Core Workflow (Six Phases)

| Phase | Action |
|-------|--------|
| 1. **Identify** | Confirm source and target plans with the user |
| 2. **Assess** | Analyze upgrade readiness using scenario references |
| 3. **Pre-migrate** | Collect existing app settings and configurations |
| 4. **Upgrade** | Execute automated migration steps |
| 5. **Validate** | Verify app reachability and endpoints |
| 6. **Handoff** | Direct users to `azure-validate` or `azure-deploy` as needed |

## Critical Requirements

- **Destructive actions require `ask_user`** before proceeding
- **Never delete or stop the original app** without explicit user confirmation
- All automation scripts must remain **idempotent and resumable**

## Currently Documented Upgrade Path

**Azure Functions: Consumption Plan → Flex Consumption Plan**

Flex Consumption offers:
- Dynamic scaling with per-instance concurrency control
- Virtual network integration (no premium plan required)
- Faster cold starts with always-ready instances
- More granular billing

## Additional Scenarios

More upgrade scenarios are discoverable via Azure best practices and documentation MCP tools embedded in the skill.

## Handoff to Other Skills

After upgrade completion:
- Validation → use `azure-validate` skill
- Deployment of new resources → use `azure-deploy` skill
