Azure Migrate application and code assessment for .NET helps to assess .NET applications source code, settings and dependencies to identify replatforming and migration opportunities for Azure.
Azure Migrate application and code assessment for .NET
Note
Starting with version 0.1.107.57580 we changed the installation of this extension to not require Admin permissions and install per-user. If you see issues with updating AppCAT or its dependency Upgrade Assistant to this or newer version, please uninstall existing AppCAT and Upgrade Assistant extensions manually and install the latest version of AppCAT (this should be done only once, next updates should be working as usual).
The goal of this extension is to assist in migrating your .NET applications to Azure by performing a scan of the .NET source code, configurations and binaries of your application to identify any issues your application might have when it is ported to Azure App Service, AKS or Azure Container Apps. The tool also gives you recommendations, when applicable, on how to improve the performance, scalability and security of your application by suggesting modern, cloud-native solutions.
See the documentation for more information and step by step guide.
