FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Java app modernization to Azure?

Automate Java app modernization to Azure by using a flow that handles JDK upgrade, database migration, storage migration, messaging migration, and deployment. It migrates applications from JDK 8+ to Java 21 and Spring Boot 3.

Can I migrate Java to Azure Container Apps with PostgreSQL and Service Bus?

Yes, you can migrate Java to Azure Container Apps with PostgreSQL and Service Bus. The modernization flow runs predefined Azure migration tasks for PostgreSQL, Blob Storage, Service Bus, and Health Endpoints automatically.

Do I need the GitHub Copilot App Modernization for Java extension to migrate Spring Boot?

Yes, the GitHub Copilot App Modernization for Java extension is required. The modernization flow depends on this extension to upgrade applications to Java 21 and Spring Boot 3 while executing Azure infrastructure migrations.

What is the best way to upgrade Java 8 to Java 21 and Spring Boot 3 on Azure?

Upgrading Java 8 to Java 21 and Spring Boot 3 on Azure is best handled by an end-to-end modernization flow. It streamlines the JDK upgrade and executes necessary Azure database, storage, and messaging migrations in one process.

Does automated Java modernization handle database and Blob Storage migration?

Yes, automated Java modernization handles database and Blob Storage migration. The process runs predefined tasks to migrate data to PostgreSQL and Azure Blob Storage alongside JDK upgrades and Spring Boot 3 deployment.

Why does Java migration to Azure require predefined migration tasks?

Java migration to Azure requires predefined migration tasks to ensure all infrastructure components are configured correctly. Automating PostgreSQL, Blob Storage, Service Bus, and Health Endpoint setups reduces manual effort and deployment errors.
