End-to-End Agentic Migrations to Azure: What AI Agents Can Actually Do (and Where They Break)

Agentic Azure migrations use AI agents to iteratively discover workloads, map dependencies, refactor code and configurations, generate Terraform or Bicep, deploy to test environments, validate results, and support rollback while engineers approve defined gates. Agents are most effective for repetitive, lower-judgment work such as inventories, SDK and runtime upgrades, Dockerfile and CI rewrites, infrastructure scaffolding, test creation, and runbook drafting, but remain unreliable for architecture selection, network and identity design, stateful data cutovers, compliance decisions, and production go/no-go calls. The article recommends limiting autonomy largely to pull requests or non-production deployments, using tools including Azure Migrate, GitHub Copilot modernization, Azure MCP Server, and coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It argues that safe adoption depends more on environment isolation, least-privilege credentials, reviewable infrastructure changes, audit logs, cost controls, ephemeral preview environments, and reversible deployments than on model capability. Qovery is presented as an execution and guardrail layer that integrates its open-source Skills package with multiple agents to deploy into customer-controlled Azure and other cloud accounts, while retaining human control over sensitive production and data-migration decisions.
