Migration, Modernization & Agentic Tools

This video covers Migration, Modernization, and Agentic tools. Agentic tools introduce autonomy, continuous optimization, and context‑aware decision‑making into the migration lifecycle. Instead of treating migration as a one‑time lift‑and‑shift, they operate as ongoing systems that:

• Discover and map environments dynamically
• Recommend modernization paths based on real telemetry
• Automate execution steps end‑to‑end
• Continuously validate, optimize, and remediate after landing in Azure

This shifts migration from a project to a self‑improving system. 

This video provides an overview of new tools in Azure Copilot and GitHub Copilot that you can use when migrating and modernizing. These tools provide the following benefits:

• Agents can classify workloads into migrate/modernize/rebuild patterns based on performance, code structure, and operational signals.
• Agents can execute migration waves automatically—copying data, validating cutovers, sequencing dependencies, and rolling back if needed.
• Agentic tools can continuously tune cost, performance, resiliency, and security posture using telemetry and policy-driven actions.
• Agentic tools can ensure governance is embedded into the migration engine—ensuring workloads land compliant, secure, and aligned with enterprise standards.
• Autonomous discovery and automated execution remove weeks of manual effort.
• Parallelized migration waves become safe because the system understands dependencies.
• Automated validation reduces human error during cutover.
• Refactoring recommendations are grounded in code and performance analysis.
• Agentic tools keep optimizing cost, security, and resilience—closing the loop between migration and operations.
