azure-to-aws

azure-to-aws is a skill for Claude Code from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. It costs 239 tokens per session (5,106 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided workflow for moving workloads from Microsoft Azure, Microsoft's cloud service, to AWS. It maps Azure services such as App Service, AKS, virtual machines, Azure SQL, and Azure OpenAI to AWS alternatives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan migrations such as App Service to Elastic Beanstalk, AKS to EKS, virtual machines to EC2, Azure databases to RDS, Redis to ElastiCache, or Azure AI to Bedrock.
Why use it?
It helps translate an existing Azure environment into AWS without requiring you to design every replacement from the beginning. It also distinguishes between matching the existing setup and choosing a more substantial redesign.

About the project

Agent Toolkit for AWS is a collection of AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, plugins, commands, and hooks that help AI coding agents build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS. It is used by developers working with AWS services through agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Kiro. The catalogue entries are the toolkit's own agent extensions for AWS development and operations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

azure-to-aws scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 274 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Azure-to-AWS Migration Skill

Build status. Discover, Clarify, Design, Estimate, Generate, and the what-if workshop are implemented. A ## Status block records which build step filled a file in. It is not a signal to skip the file or to treat its body as a stub. Still missing: Bicep, ARM templates, and RDfA; the feedback sidebar (wiring only); and patterns.md, licensing.md, and gpu-hpc.md. The live az capture path is implemented (discover-live.md). OpenAI, OpenRouter, and Anthropic usage-API discovery (interactive, consent-gated, main-window — same shape as discover-live.md's pre-dispatch live-az capture) is implemented.

Optional usage telemetry

Before starting or resuming, load references/vendored/telemetry/PROTOCOL.md and run its read-only status check. Use the returned reporting mode rather than the model's identity. Complete the existing notice exchange only when that protocol requires it; unavailable or declined telemetry never blocks this skill.

Philosophy

  • Re-platform by default: pick the AWS service that matches the Azure workload type (App Service → Elastic Beanstalk, AKS → EKS, VMs → EC2, Flexible Server → RDS/Aurora, Azure Cache for Redis → ElastiCache). Re-architecting is a user decision, not a default.
  • Do not recommend AWS App Runner (no longer accepting new customers as of April 2026). App Service maps to Elastic Beanstalk by default, with Fargate as the override for direct container control and EKS for teams that already run Kubernetes. ECS Express Mode may be mentioned only as a forward-look on the Fargate override path.
  • Live-first discovery, read-only and consent-gated: the user's authenticated az CLI is a first-class source — most startups have no azurerm_* Terraform, and the tenant is authoritative for what actually runs. The live-az capture path is implemented (discover-live.md): consent + read-only az resource list/list capture run as main-window pre-work, and a file-only fragment parses the capture into the same inventory contract as the Terraform path (a live-only workspace no longer halts — it discovers). Resource Discovery for Azure (RDfA) is offered as the accuracy upgrade when right-sizing dollars matter, and recommended outright above roughly a handful of subscriptions. Live capture is strictly read-only, never captures app-setting or connection-string VALUES, and never mints a token.
  • Holistic first, per-resource second: the report leads with cluster-level architecture rationale. A 40-row per-resource mapping table is an appendix, not the headline.
  • Pre-determined where there is no ambiguity: an architecture-invariant primitive (Blob → S3, VNet → VPC) is a deterministic table lookup and never routed through a rubric that could reason its way somewhere else. A pattern may narrow the rubric's candidate set; a pattern may never change a deterministic mapping's target.
  • Dev sizing unless specified: default to development-tier capacity (single AZ, db.t4g.micro-class). Upgrade only on user direction or on measured utilization.
  • x86_64 is the default architecture here, not Graviton: Azure fleets carry Windows and .NET far more often than GCP or Heroku fleets do, and references/shared/graviton.md's escape path (Windows, .NET Framework, GPU/CUDA, RDS SQL Server) fires routinely. Graviton is offered as an optimization, not assumed.
  • Startup-weighted, not enterprise-weighted: Azure Database for PostgreSQL/MySQL Flexible Server and Cosmos DB Core API get full depth. Azure SQL Database / Managed Instance / SQL-on-VM, Azure Hybrid Use Benefit licensing, elastic-pool consolidation, and Synapse sit behind specialist gates that fire only on detection.
  • No human one-time migration costs: do not present human labor, professional services, or people-time as dollar estimates or a "one-time migration cost" budget line. Vendor charges grounded in data (Azure invoice line items in the baseline) are allowed.
  • Generate is opt-in: Design and Estimate always run. Terraform, migration scripts, and docs are produced only after the user chooses Execute at the post-Estimate decision gate (run_mode: decide_and_execute).

azure-to-aws is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws (2,886 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 239 tokens to every session and 5,106 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-26.
