GitHub Copilot App Modernization is a new AI-powered tool that automates upgrading .NET Framework applications to modern .NET versions (like .NET 10) and migrating them to Azure. The tool provides code assessments, identifies security vulnerabilities, creates detailed upgrade plans, and handles the tedious migration work automatically. A live demonstration shows upgrading an MVC Music Store application from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET 10, which took about an hour with minimal manual coding required. The tool also supports subsequent Azure migration with recommendations for services like Azure SQL, Entra ID, and blob storage.
